edit: should note that this is not my car and I shamelessly stole this image from a google image search.
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

No. Clean it in place on the engine. Only need to remove the rubber tube from it for access.
I use carb and throttle cleaner and a toothbrush or nylon bottle brush.
The important part is to get the area between the housing and the throttle blade (butterfly) clean so the blade doesn't stick closed.
Final wipe down with a shop towel.
Wedge a stick on the gas pedal to keep it on the floor and keep the throttle blade wide open, this makes it easier to clean and use both hands.
