Sensor cleaning

What's your poison?

I've just done 3 passes with the Rocket Blower and though it initially got rid of the worst dust all it seems to be doing now is moving stuff about and not budging some stuff at all.

There are so many different options, just wondering what you use.

Sending it away for a pro clean isn't really an option due to cost.

basically if you can't shift it with a blower then get one of the sensor lens pens. cost = FUCK ALL and best of all it actually works and it easy.

the only brand i know is Lenspen (same as the filter cleaning lenspen), i think they call the product sensorklear or something like that. you used to be able to get them on 7gayshop for about a quid fifty. its literally the same as the good old lenspen (ace for cleaning filters) but with a smaller and triangular nib to get into the corners of the sensor. first time i used mine it got the sensor cleaner than it had been after nikon cleaned it. haven't needed to use it in the last 2 years though.
