Sensor cleaning

[siejones]

Ok I need to clean my sensor those little dust devils have took residance and my blower won't shift em.

I want to have a go at shifting them myself but I am unsure of the best equipment/methods.

What products do you use and where did you get them from?

Eclipse fluid and sensor swabs m8, buy them from eBay or search here in the forums for alternative suppliers.

Thanks everyone.

I have tried searching for sensor swabs on ebay but come up with nothing. Are they called something else?

Is the starter kit from WE a good deal? http://www.warehouseexpress.com/photo/cleaning/digipad.html

Yeah, basically you can either buy the following

Plastic Glue spreader, cut to size for yourself
Pecpads
Eclipse

or

Sensorswabs, from here. http://www.cameraclean.co.uk/acatalog/CCD_Cleaning.html

Or

the starter kit above (dont forget you'll need to buy the cleaning fluid too).

Basically sensor swabs and the starter kit are basically pecpads wrapped around the spatula already done for you. Depends if you want to make them yourself or not. Some do, some prefer them ready made.
