I Ended up needing a cleaning on rather short notice after my Rocket Blower only made things worse (I Don't know why) I got these next day from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078N8WKJ7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and they worked great !

I tried making my own swabs with the materials that came with the cleaning kit. Couldn't get the swabs to stay on the handle. Use tape, etc. just wouldn't stay. Ordered the above and these guys are great. 1,2,3 and the sensor is ready for action again.

THE END OF HOSE IS PLASTIC , THE END OF LENS IS METAL !!.just hold it a inch or so from camera , take a couple of 3 sec exposure and dust is 100 % gone .blowing will move dust around .

to respond at what kind of vacuum cleaner i use , any mini shop vac , around $ 25 .it is a lot safer to use a vacuum cleaner then use a swab with liquid .the people who think that using a vac is risky , about blowing compressed air ???? ,the vac will clean the all inside of camera , and back of lens .cannot believe that anyone has not tried it . been talking about that method for over 2 years now .if you have a older camear that still work but you dont use anymore , just dust it off , then vacuum and see .

Ok guys and gals, I started this conversation, today I photographed a white sheet of paper 3 times and found the same single spec each time in the same spot. One spec does not warrant me cleaning the sensor. Thanks for all the good help.

What did you ultimately use to clean your sensor?

You should at least own a Giotto Rocket Blower (link to B&H). This cheap tools works with the mirror lock-up / cleaning option of your camera. Most dust can be cleaned off this way. Here's an example of the results: An exercise in sensor cleaning
