Yes, try a blower first - the rocket blower is good - don't use canned compressed air as the propellant could damage the sensor. If the dust isn't removed then you'll need to do a wet cleaning - there are several good kits available.

Just gently wipe it down with a soft towel. Use a swab to get into the recesses if necessary. You don't want to blow any of that dust into the camera body.

Wiping the sensor with a soft towel can scratch the delicate sensor - there are special sensor wipes and liquid for that purpose.

I use a rocket blower and if necessary I also use SensorKlear II to remove stuck on dust.

Are you talking about dust on the BODY or on the SENSOR? Two totally different cleaning techniques involved here.

I don't find the rocket blower very affective. Compressed air works better but you need to hold the can at the proper distance and upright to avoid clouding from the propellant.
Sensor swabs are some what affective and outrageously expensive. I've made my own device using eclipse solutions and pec-pads.
I don't look for dust until it shows in my photos.

The poster says dust on the camera, not inside the camera.

I carry a small 1 1/2 inch wide quality paint brush with most of the handle cut off in my camera bag at all times

Do you mean the body or the sensor? You have the camera's sensor cleaner turned on, right?

I guess you interpreted the OP correctly - I wouldn't have guessed that since we get dust on everything and wiping off the outside of a camera body is no different than cleaning anything of value. As you indicated a soft cloth or damp one is fine - no chemicals as the vapor could get onto the lens and damage it.

I did not buy anything from them but I am going to buy. Is there anybody who used their tools. And what is your opinion?

I've used the Eclipse liquid, but I suspect it's just alcohol. The wipes I use look similar, but are PecPad. I can remove the used cloth and replace it with a new piece.
