Annoying bit of stuff on sensor?

Hi, I know there are loads of threads on sensor cleaning- I just have 1 little piece of hair or something on mine near the bottom right corner, evident on the pic below. I can see it when I look in there- and have tried blowing it away with a little bulb blower thing but it won't budge, I have a lens pen with the normal felt'y sort of end and the other end has a soft brush that slides out- is it worth trying that to unearth it so it will blow away?

I have never thought I'd worry about cleaning a sensor before until I actually need to do it :lol:

I'm pretty sure the image projected on your sensor is upside down so the fluff will be on the top edge if you want to try it again with the blower. I forget whether the image is reversed left-right too so try both top corners.
 
Well I carefully dusted it with the soft brush of the lens pen- and not moved at all, after as close a look as my eyes can see it appears to be a mark or scratch and not fluff :(

What are my options?
 
Would be surprised if it is a scratch - maybe a hair caught under the plastic that holds the sensor in place - I have had a few caught there. Maybe worth giving some swabs a go:

Graham (FITP) sells excellent sensor swabs. I have cleaned 3 cameras so far.

Only use a swab once in each direction then move to the next.
