Cleaning the throttle body?

I bought a used TPI throttle body and it's pretty grungy. Once I remove the TPS sensor and IAC/coolant housing, can I just submerge the thing in some carb cleaner and leave it soak? If it will help, I can post some pictures so you can get an idea of the grunge factor.

If this is the wrong to go about it, what's the right way?
