Watch this video, buy some swabs (#3 size) and the eclipse cleaner and start saving yourself time and money. Don't stress about cleaning the sensor yourself because believe me if you are capable enough to find this forum and read up on your camera you will have no problem cleaning the sensor.

I used a lens pen brush to wipe off my sensor. That took care of most of my spots. I'll do a wet clean in a little while, but I want the dust spots to accumulate a lot first
It doesn't really bother me.. They only show up at small apertures and for now at least I can remove the spots in lightroom if needed.

I think you are better off learning how to resolve it.

If you're comfortable with your camera, and gentle with the lens pen, then go ahead and do this. But if you're talking about the non-brush end, I personally would not be comfortable using the other end - the potential for too much pressure against the sensor, IMO.

That would be my recommendation. Most will recommend blow first using a bulb of some type, and then wet cleaning if required. Rick's method will work as a substitute for the sensor swabs which are nice - and nice and expensive (about $3-4 a pop).
I watched this and took it on myself. Very pleased with the results.

On my first cleaning I had to use two swabs to get a difficult spot off.

Nothing like doing it yourself to take the fear away. And now you can take great care of that superb camera!
Funny thing is I use it for work as well so I was cleaning it in the patrol room. My sergeant, who shoots an old XSi, came over to watch. He was timid before but after seeing it done he also felt comfortable tackling the task.
