Throttle Body Cleaning

Throttle Body Cleaning
My truck has nearly 70k miles on it, and I'm thinking about cleaning the throttle body. Any special tricks, other than removing the resonator, unplugging a couple of electrical connectors, and spraying away with a TB cleaner?
I just did this today on my other vehicle, and it made a big difference in idle quality and responsiveness.

Thanks ChryslerTech. I kept the plastic stuff away from the TB cleaner, and did use a dedicated cleaner. I was a little nervous about that, as I've heard that there's a TSB for Hemi engines to only use brake cleaner on TBs. Maybe that's for older models (I hope). I was amazed at how clean the TB was for a truck with nearly 70k miles. Very little carbon compared to others I've seen, and no sticking.
When I unplugged the clip on the connector at the TB, the red piece went flying. I think I have it back on there properly, but I wasn't impressed with the design!
