Instructions in the above URL are:
"If you have not already done so, put on rubber gloves and eye protection. Once the throttle body is exposed, spray the throttle-body cleaner inside the air duct, and use the brushes to gently dislodge the dirt, gum and varnish that are present. Note: Be very careful not to let the thin, plastic spray nozzle (or anything else!) fall into the throttle-body opening. Periodically wipe the residue clean with the paper towels. Repeat this process until all the interior surfaces are clean to bare metal. Use the flashlight to get a good look at your progress.
Before replacing the throttle-body ducts, put a drop of household general-purpose oil on the shafts of the throttle shaft where it enters the throttle body. Use a small cotton swab, and don't overdo it - just a small drop of oil will help keep the throttle blade rotating smoothly. One drop should be fine. "
For cleaning the `external sides` of TB, I'd use Throttle Body Cleaner as well. Don't use normal engine degreaser spray (like Engine Junk) because some splashing may land inside the TB opening. Thus, I'd use Throttle Body Spray on external sides of TB as well...
See above "drill down" URL for more details.
