First, why? Have you seen evidence of dust in your photographs?
I use a Giottos Rocket hand-bulb blower to clean dust off. It is
always kept wrapped up to prevent dust from getting in it. In the
event that that isn't sufficient, I use a Visible Dust Sensor
Brush ... Yeah, if you're really eager, you can find a cosmetics
brush that is of the same composition and save a bunch of money, but
I'm lazy and I had the money at the time. Beyond that I use Pec pads
and Eclipse solution.
The sensor has a cover on it. It's not particularly delicate, but it
IS delicate. You should never put pressure on it, or get goo on it.
That's why I don't trust canned air.

Time to clean the sensor in the DS ... locked up the mirror and saw
the
sensor thingy. It looks like there's a plastic layer over the

protection,
and, therefore, of a durable nature?
I was thinking of using a blower brush with the brush bristles
removed. Is
that OK? Any other suggestions?
