Depends on the firearm. I don't try for 'basic training military clean' any more.
I spend about 30 minutes cleaning the ARs, most of that is soak time for the barrel and BCG.
The AKs get some foaming bore cleaner and a few patches through the barrel about twice a year, then wipe down and grease the BCG.
1903s, Garand, M1A, and M1 carbine get a wipe down and lube, use an OTIS pull through for the barrel, detail stripped\cleaned once per year.
M2 carbine gets a detail strip after each trip to the range.
About 10 - 15 minutes on pistols, .22 pistols get a bit more because they tend to be dirtier.
