Seafoam?

Another vote for Seafoam.
Some also use it in the crankcase for a few days before an oil change to clean out the gunk.

RedLine SI-1
All of the others are pretty much just solvents. I've never had Techron work, nor Seafoam when added to the fuel as directed.

Based on the super fast improvement I saw from using the Redline SI-1....taking them out would be a huge pain and cost a lot. Why do that when you can run a cleaner. Plus, what would most people that don't have multiple cars drive while the injectors are on vacation?

Injector Cleaner
I use BG44K in my 92 300E with 112k miles. I've noticed a difference in the overall performance and my in town MPG has increased from 18-20. Several of the larger domestic dealer shops in my town highly recommend the product to their customers. I put a can in about every 4-5 months.
