What is the best way to clean the plentium

I am doing head work on my 3.0 and I am wondering what is the best way to clean the plentium (the device that goes onto of the intake maniflod) and throttle body?

Plenum. I always tear an old shirt in half, spray a bunch of intake/carb cleaner down each runner (one at a time), stuff the shirt all the way down each runner (one at a time), then get a drill (with 1/4" drill bit) caught up in the shirt, and spin the shirt around inside each runner until it's nice and clean.

Blast it with crushed walnut shells. Looks like new when done.
