Throttle Body + Dishwasher?

So I got my used Throttle Body the other day with all the sensors on it. I will be replacing my current throttle body as the IACV is dirty again and I think the TPS might be bad. I have all the sensors off of it and I've cleaned a lot of it with CRC TB Cleaner with the ole q-tips and such. I'd like to get the rest of the throttle body really clean. Do you think I can safely throw it in the dishwasher? All gaskets, plastics, and electronics are off........shouldn't do anything bad to it, should it? If doing that is a no-no, is there a solvent I can mix in a 5-gallon pale to soak in?

Of course I'm serious. I want that bad boy clean. And there's just some spots you can't get to. Maybe I'll just strap it to the roof rack and go through a car wash.

Use a pressure washer. It works great on carburators, really gets the crud out of the jets.

Your better off cleaning it with varsol.I used to clean my carburators(remember them ) in the wash tanks at work.Cleaned all the crud right off.Soap ain't gonna do crap.
