If for some reason that doesn't work, read on
I guess this can be a rolling thread, and in fact, I'll likely write a blog for the MF's, documenting how to clean ones DSLR sensor. I'll go through the dry and wet methods that I feel most comfortable with. For now, I'll just post a couple of vids that I thought were decent enough to follow if you have the need to do a sensor cleaning.

Some pro's say dry cleaning is mostly all you'd need, and that wet cleaning only needs to be done in extreme circumstances. Other's say that dry cleaning is a waste of time. I say that there's a time and place for both.

But if it IS oil/grease, a dry cleaning won't cut it, period.
