Cleaning Throttle Body

Have you guys cleaned your Throttle Body? And if so, how do you do it? Do you remove the entire TB, or just slip off the intake piping and clean it that way. Also what are you using for a cleaner? I've used the CRC stuff you get at Advanced, any other suggestions would be welcomed. Also anyone use Sea Foam? I've heard it may kill your gaskets.

Thanx

Coevopower, thanks for the help. Much appreciated. Crappy thing is, my after-market I/C piping is really hard to move around. I'll have to fiddle with it tonight to see how I can remove it. Thanks again...

In addition to wipin' w/ a rag I would give it ample time to evaporate to open air. Hydrocarbons go "BOOM"
