You can but usually you don't have to.
Search for "throttle body" in this forum. I have two write-ups on how to clean it.

If u want to rly clean it not "clean" it then you have to remove it, but dont forget to reset your computer after cleaning so it learns new settings after cleaning Got IS 200 as well
