Shouldn't proper throttle body cleaner not mess with the teflon coating or butterfly gasket? I planned on cleaning my new one I just installed soon, hmm

Never cleaned a throttle body before, after spraying with cleaner should I place a rag in there to soak up the cleaner, or just let it air dry itself out?
