04 Corolla: cleaning engine compartment?

Just bought a 04 5-spd Corolla. The engine compartment is very dirty...I like to leep clean like the rest of the car as much as possible. On my other cars, I just took to the car wash, sprayed with degreaser foam and then rinsed with high pressure water. Is it OK to do this with this engine, or is there risk of it gettting into ignition components or something? It makes sense to cover the opening into the intake plenum, should anything else be covered? Can I take that top cover off of the engine and spray clean there, too?
