If you can change oil and filters - you can clean the throttle body.

Just make sure to get the proper cleaner. Make sure the rag you use does not leave parts behind. Cover your top and window and exposed paint to protect against overspray.

If you remove the whole component, it is easier to clean, but there are obviously more steps.
You will be fine.
