It's not necessary to clean it. If by any chance you have a problem and THINK you need to clean it, it's more likely the thermocouple is acting up and needs to be replaced.

How to clean the pilot on your furnace?

Remove the pilot assembly from the furnace and clean it up. You need to be careful when putting it back on at the gas valve so as not to crossthread the screw. Take a thin wire and clean the pilot orifice, then use a brush or sandpaper on the thermocouple.

Where is the furnace pilot located?

The gas furnace pilot (flame is lit all the time) is sometimes referred to as a pilot light, but no matter what you call it, its purpose is to serve as a small ignition flame for the gas burner. And when this little flame fails to operate properly or go out, it's one of the most common reasons a gas furnace will fail to operate.
