How do you clean the end of the EGR tube that is behind the throttle body?

I cleaned the inside with swabs as far as I could get them in but there is a bend in the tube
behind the throttle body. I have a new EGR valve to put on but I need to clean the tube good before I install it. Can I just spray throttle body cleaner into it and let it run down into the engine?

No, I would not do that, Get a small bristle pipe cleaner or bottle cleaner, that will work fine...
