Nanook's video is excellent. Clip-cleaning (re-aiding) is also an excellent solution where there are many traversing pieces in a row. The key for cleaning these things is something like a gri-gri, as both a backup while screwing around, as well as a way to lower out off a piece. Another rule is to NEVER lower out until you have some sort of tether to the piece. All that said, if the leader back cleans the wrong piece (basically any piece on a traverse) they should know they are screwing the second. In a couple cases I've had to back clean, such as leap frogging #5 cams on Planck's Constant Roof, and in those cases I make sure to save those pieces so i could zip them back to the cleaner for them to re-aid that section (not backcleaning would have required ~6-7 #5's, no thank you).
