Throttle Body cleaning?

I want to clean up a throttle body, and I have a bucket of acetone and degreaser I've been using to clean all these other TPI parts... what do I need to take off of the TB to be able to just dump it in the acid-bucket for a couple hours?

Be sure to remove the TPS, IAC and IAC housing

I removed the IAC housing and the sensors...

Why does the housing need to be removed?
What if I took the IAC off and dropped the housing into the bucket?

Well I guess the IAC housing would be fine as long as the IAC is removed.

BTW: What is the 'clean air cover'? I notice the Accel 58mm TB doesn't come with it.
