Any easy method to clean throttle body?

I read it in the FAQs the method suggested in Motorvate and it looked little cumbersome. http://www.motorvate.ca/mvp.php/517

Can someone help me with an easy and quick way to clean the throttle body without removing the whole thing ? Pics will be nice too

Thanks.

The how to on motorvate is the easy way to do it without removing the throttle body. You just spray the cleaner in there and wipe with a rag. Shouldnt take more than 10 or 15 minutes total.
But if you dont want to remove the whole intake, you could just loosen the last part and try to squeeze your hand in the with the cleaner

yeah - it doesn't even take a 1/2 of effort to losen the intake. It can't get any easier.

I mean to say that the motorvate guy had some different air filter (cone) while I got a stock one and I thought if it's sufficient to just remove the clamp in this picture (adjust the assembly to the sideways if possible) and get access to the throttle body.
