That'll work. Just make sure that you rinse and dry completely. Don't use soap on the wick. Good luck and have fun!
I normally rinse the tank out with hot tap water and let it air dry. No soap needed. For the wick/coil, I'll soak it in vodka for a half hour or so, then rinse it and let it dry overnight. The vodka soak isn't critical, but I find it does a better job of cleaning all of the old flavors out.
Same as bhswmc01 I have found very hot water is more effective than anything else (at least anything else safe to use for this purpose). If I'm in a hurry, I also fill with everclear and shake it up then drain. The everclear will mix with any water left in it and the remaining mixture (after draining) evaporates much faster.
Use the cheap vodka for soaking! Top shelf won't make a difference in the cleaning... Except for cleaning your wallet... Get a $6 bottle of Taaka or something like that.
A soak in really hot water, then a quick rinse through with hot water, being sure to blow out the head - that's my daily regiment, and it keeps my coils near perfect for months.
In short, using more extensive methods work - and probably better. However, I tend to think that using just hot water on a regular basis works wonders. In fact, it's probably just regular cleaning that does wonders.

Thanks for the responses. I feel like buying the top shelf would be good though, cause you can use just a little for cleaning and the rest for drinking! 
I just rinse out my tanks with hot water, when the wick isn't preforming up to standard, I just put in some new cotton and throw out the old. Cotton is cheap, cotton wicks good... Oh, my bad. I don't use PT's anymore, um, but when I did I had 2 of them and just used different flavor in the 2 tanks and when switching juice flavors, would put in a new head and run it till was out of that flavor. 5 pack of coil heads were $5, so never tried cleaning the wicks. Then I went rba and gave the PT away. PT is a good beginners tank and just a gateway to rba's so fair warning. lol

I've never been a soaker to be honest.
As Christopherja mentioned, a good rinse in very hot water every 2-3 tanks works wonders. I'd do a dry burn every few days too and my heads lasted for weeks.
Also, letting them dry for hours and hours isn't really necessary. Just dry the tank with a q-tip and shake off the heads as well as you can, fill and vape.

So does the hot water or vodka method work for the Kanger bottom coils too? I was hesitant to get them wet so I just wiped them off or changed them. We had classic cola in one tank and even after cleaning the tank you could taste it even over the new flavor. I got my first vapemail today with 25 flavors and I am wanting to taste them all. I have changed several times, but probably am not getting the true flavors due to the previous. SOme I have definitely still been able to taste over the new one. Good news is they have all tasted good even together so far. Some I have just mixed with a new flavor once the tank is very low. 
I clean my Kanger Evod coils all the time with hot water, and use alcohol for darker juice... Works great.

Yes - the cleaning process is exactly the same.
Getcha a dripping atomizer to try all those flavors. Blow it out into a paper towel, change flavors, repeat.
For my first round of vaping (just started), I added a coffee flavor to tobacco, and it turned out pretty good!

Do you let the wicks dry before you do the dry burn? How exactly do you do the dry burn? I soaked some heads in vodka like mentioned here, and then let them dry for 24 hours, and put it into davide tank and it did not taste like a fresh atty. I bought (20) 2.5ohm attys on eBay because they're less than $.25/day for me! But I'd love to save more money if someone could please explain to me how to do the dry burns, because I'm an idiot in most regards 
I'm more into high end live audio recording!!!
I'm more into high end live audio recording!!!There are lots of good YouTube videos on dry burning but I'll be honest: I stopped dry burning months ago. I just soak heads in vodka for several hours, then water. Since I've generally got 10 in rotation, they get plenty of soaking. When I get back to them, they're fine.
