That's how I've always cleaned my camera. And my laptop.

So now you have an underwater camera. Should we worry that it was a Canon, not a Nikon?

I tried that on my Nikon and it stopped working after cleaning. This must be a Canon thing and not for Nikons. Hmmm!

The same list of how to clean cameras (and other electronics) also lists leaving in the bed of a pickup in the car wash, throwing the whole camera bag in one of those large washing machines for sleeping bags, high pressure hose, putting in in the hot tub/spa and turning on all the jets and a few others.

I suspect the list was made up by a camera repairman who needed more business. Or his brother-in-law who owns a camera/electronics shop.

You can tell it was effective, because there were flecks of dirt floating in the basin at the end.

There was a sequel on drying using a high pressure air hose. Paper towels would scratch the sensor.
