>>2609853I would only use 'proper' tools to clean the sensor.
There is a piece of glass over the sensor, so you're not touching the actual electronics, but you don't want to scratch the glass either.
Sensor swabs work the best but are ridiculously expensive. ($5 a piece or so, and you need about 3 per session).
Luckily wou can also make your own swabs with something called a "sensor wand" and a "PEC PAD" (costs about $10 for 100).
