87 Camry question about what kind of cleaner to use on throttle body?

Hello there,
I have a 87 Camry 2.0 5 speed and have a question on what kind of throttle body cleaner to use to clean the throttle body? I ask this because the car is so old and there are many kinds i.e. Deep creek sea foam, throttle body cleaner, and many others. Please advise me on the best one to use as I am afraid of using a brand/kind that might damage the IAC unit. Thanks for your help in this matter.
Dave

i used throttle body cleaner on my 90 camry bout 4 yrs ago now. wow, its been a while, seemed like yesterday. it was in an automotive class at college. we used a 3m throttle body cleaner kit. it had a spray can and also a dip can. seemed to work pretty well. maybe i should look into running it again!
did some research:
this is a list of all the products 3m offers for throttle body cleaning:

this appears to the product for individual retail and looks the same to what i used 4 yrs ago:
