Totally agree, cleaning will likely damage the ducts. Our A/C guy told me that rather than clean the ducts, a couple of times a year to remove the filter, run the A/C, and spray a can of aerosol Lysol into the area where the filter typically resides (the air intake) and the Lysol will circulate through the duct work and disinfect it. After the process, put in a new filter. We do this twice per year and have never had an air quality problem. The only two problems with this are 1) the house smells of Lysol for a day or two, and 2) Lysol is hard to find during this dam pandemic.
