Also it's a good idea to use paper towels, q-tips, patches, and dental picks.
You don't need to clean your gun every time you go shooting, although it's not a bad idea. I typically clean my gun every other time, or about 200+ rounds. There are AR guides on youtube of all the secret little places where carbon loves to build up, too.
Wear ear protection. Every single time. I always, indoors or outdoors, wear earplugs with earmuffs on top. Gun stores have specialty ones but hardware store ear muffs work just as fine.
Finally, use eye protection as well. Just any safety glasses will do. Sometimes my AR will spit hot gas, carbon, and CLP into my eyes. That's just the way they work with the charging handle at the rear. Also saves you from shrapnel on the very, very off chance of a severe malfunction.

Also you're gonna need some CLP, cleaning and lube oil basically.
To clean your gun, wipe down all the dirt and oils, scrape the carbon out, clean the barrel, and then use a little clp to lube the gun and put a thin coat of oil on all the metal parts to prevent rust and wear.
If you AR came with a manual there may be a section of how to break it down and clean it.
