Default Throttle bodies

Hi Chaps

I have a 6 cyl DB7, and was hoping someone here may be able to tell me a bit about the throttle bodies and how to clean them. I have some idling issues on my car which I've been told is possibly due to dirty throttle bodies, how can I check if this is the case and how difficult are they to clean?
Any ideas/advice would be gratefully received!
Thanks in advance

Not difficult at all. The critical cleaning issue is the surfaces between the valve and the body itself. Spray TB cleaner from you friendly neighborhood auto parts store and a clean, lint free rag. Spray and wipe, prop open the valve and clean the mating point. Just don't fill up the intake manifold with liquid cleaner.

Lots of posts on the subject.
