Best way to clean fuel injectors?

Other than changing the fuel filter out every 12k miles, what is the best way to clean the fuel injectors and fuel rail? Is this even needed?

I would imagine that using a fuel injector cleaner additive is a good way. I hear the STP is used a lot up here, but not sure what everyones preferance is.

You can get them cleaned professionally by an auto shop or Ford,or you can add a cleaning product to your tank and run it until you are almost out of gas.There are three products out there that are the best out of all them;
1) BG 44K
2)Techron
3)SeaFoam
Any one of these products will do you justice.

That's what I thought. I was just wondering if I could "physically" do something to clean out the injectors. For now I will stick with adding a cleaning product to my gas.
Thanks.

In my opinion the BG products are the best.
