Is it a good idea to grease throttle body plate?

I took out ICV and cleaned throttle body plate with carb cleaner. What else should I clean while I am there?
Also Inspection check list says to grease throttle body plate. What do you guys think?

Should be clean enough to move freely. But no harm in a light grease.

Thanks,

Is there anything I should clean? Should I remove intake manifold and clean?
