I'm sure that's better because more work = better results, right? If you try cleaning with compressed air and a thin oil/solvent like WD40 or mineral spirits, you might be surprised. All those nooks and crannies you can't reach by scrubbing are magically cleaned out as well. Of course if the fouling is dry and hard scrubbing is required, but I mentioned that above already.
