I'm a fan of having a mineral spirits breakdown (get the odorless one). I'll post the usual cleaning list I share with new sks owners.

Nitrile gloves

Odorless mineral spirits - 1 gallon (maybe more if you're judicious)

Industrial spray bottle - the good ones, not the ones for house cleaning

Nail brush

Toothbrush

Rags

Gun cleaning tools (for afterwards)

A rubber or wood mallet

Eye protection

A tub of some kind

A few small plastic containers for small parts.
