I just clean deposits with carb cleaner if i were to take the throttle body off or the disa valve, being careful not to overdo it to mess up the electronics. I used carb cleaner to clean a throttle body on my mk4 VW about 6 years ago with great results but I stress that you should remove the piece you are cleaning first so as not to get stray cleaner inside the engine.

I usually run a tank of techron or equivalent fuel system cleaner once a year as well, helps to keep deposits down. Other than that, change the oil with good oil, and use good gas.
CRC throttle body and Maf cleaner is very quick dry. I believe its 3min max and whole thing is dry. i just sprayed a little bit and the fluid leaks back out.
