Cleaning Throttle body

I was wondering how hard it is to clean up my throttle body on my 90' 302?

Is there any special tricks of procedures I should know before I attempt this?

What type of solvent should I use?

90' F150 XLT 4x4 302w headers/ 4-speed/ 4.10 rear
True duals 2.25"/ 24" packs at 45's/ 5th wheel

I clean My 90 stang 5.go yous should be similar.
I bought a can of Throttle body injection cleaner B-12 I think
I pulled my hoses (2) going to the TB and I sprayed the $%$6 out of it in runners and all.
I let is sit 5 minutes and cranked her up had mom get in the truck and bring RPM's about 2,000 and I used the rest of the 16oz can like so I watched it SMOKE
I shut it down and reassembled my hoses
Drove it down to the gas station for a soda--5 mile trip one way~
I immedately noticed ALOT better acceloration, fuel economy, ideling
Later,
