Sure this has been asked many times before.

Have dust on my new to me Canon 30D, have tried blowing it off, but some bits still there. So will need to try something more effective what do you suggest.

I'm after something that is cheap and works, thanks.
 
I recently got mine done at Jacobs. The guy there gave it a free blow clean and decided it needed a wet clean. They didn't have any kits in but ordered one for me. When they arrived I was straight back there and for the price of the kit £24 they cleaned it for me. It was more than just spots it turned out it was dirtier than first thought and got very smeary. Bad news all three swabs were used but every credit to the guy he persisted, with great care I must add, and the good news was he sorted it. Great service and a free demo of how to clean a sensor. Means I know what I'm doing next time round.

I'm sure others may comment on the word "cheap". Given the sensor is key to recording the image you don't want to sacrifice cheapness against receiving a big repair bill if it goes horribly wrong.
 
I used a LENSPEN SensorKLEAR on my 350D, it got off the worst of it but couldnt clean it 100%, cant complain for £5 but perhaps its worth the extra money next time to get it perfect.
