The first curve will catch most of the dust, but you won't see any.

My personal opinion: all of this duct cleaning activity / promotions / sales, etc which seems to have become popular over just the past 10 years or so is just a gimmick. Yes, I can see some "debris" in my return ducts. However, when I look in my air ducts for each room, they are clean. Why? Well, that's why we have filters. The filters catch material that is returned to the air handler and the air coming back to the rooms is clean.

There is no reason to clean your ducts. Your indoor air is as good as your air filters. Put in a good filter and fuggetaboutit.
