Cleaning Pistols...

Don't use the dishwasher without checking with your wife. I once had to heat up the crankcases of a motorcycle engine in the oven to replace the crank seals. Some people have kind of hidebound ideas about kitchen appliances. 
if you read the instruction manual for each of your firearms it will typically have clear and concise directions on how to care for your pistols.

I don't think you need to clean a Glock, according to the Glock guys here.
First of all, buy some all-purpose gun cleaner/lubricant oil (I like G96, but most other brands will also do the job). Use it to clean the gun and lubricate the trigger mechanism. On the contact points (i.e. slide, barrel lugs), I use Mobil-1 synthetic grease. You can also use a "gun grease" like TW-25 or Slide Glide but they are more expensive, harder to find, and don't do anything that a good synthetic automotive grease won't. For the barrel, use a copper solvent such as Hoppes #9 or Outers Nirto Solvent.
Cleaning revolvers is a bit more involved, as you get to deal with hard-to-remove carbon deposits on the cylinder face and around the forcing cone. If your revolver is made of stainless steel, I would highly recommend Kleen Bore Lead Away patches (also good for cleaning a leaded barrel). However, if you revolver is blued, DO NOT use, as it would ruin the finish in no time.

In fact, the Glock is actually SO amazing, that it will clean all of your other guns for you!
