I'm asking because I've heard people clean it incorrectly moving the butterfly and the sensor inside gets decalibrated and after finishing cleaning and installing back people have issues with their idle and can be a pain to fix it.
I first unplug the TB sensor plug before touching the butterfly, then sprayed and cleaned with shop towels, i had to move the butterfly in order to remove the gunk build up on the edge of the butterfly and had no issues with idle after cleaning this way. I took my time and was careful when cleaning them out, not to let the butterfly slam shut itself or anything in a forceful manner.
