Boilers can be quite complex and it may be desirable to find a trained professional, at least for the first time maintenance is done on the boiler so the process and specific stems used for the boiler can be watched.
But if this option is not chosen, the following was stated in the Routine servicing section of the a Baxi Luna HT 330 manual (this is a modulating fully-condensing boiler, but the advice is probably applicable to most boilers): after turning off the gas and opening up the boiler, "chuck for any dirt in the combustion chamber. Use a vacuum-cleaner for this cleaning operation", "check that there is no dirt in the siphon", and "check that the gas valve is calibrated correctly".
Further information about boiler cleaning is desired.

You need to have the boiler checked and Serviced by a qualified, state registered gas fitter. If the boiler can be repaired, the fitter will also clean it for you.
Quite honestly, trying to service gas appliances yourself is a very dangerous, risky thing to do. If you get it wrong you could end up killing yourself and your family. In the UK it would be illegal for you to do this yourself (see related link below).

How do you clean an oil fired boiler?
Cleaning a boiler is a dirty job and should only be done by a licensed pluming or heating professional but let's talk about how a oil fired boiler would get cleaned by that oil burner service man. There are several things that are done when fully cleaning and serving an oil burner, although most people think its just a matter of vacuuming out the soot when there is actually a lot more to it then that. This is exactly why only a certified or licensed professional should be doing the work. Let's now talk about what will be done and how to clean a boiler. The materials that will be need to fully clean and maintain the boiler will be a new oil pump filter, oil line filter, new burner nozzle and possibly new electrodes depending on their condition. The boiler will also have be vacuumed out and that will have to be done with a special vacuum that is made for soot. These vacuums have special filters inside so that the soot does not return to the air when removing the fine soot ash from inside of the oil burner.
