I don't know for sure but I'm told that if you send your camera in for "professional cleaning" they will use...

A sensor swab with Eclipse cleaning fluid!

They'll just charge you a bundle for it so you might as well do it yourself.

true but they'll be insured so if they scratch the anti aliasing filter you will get a new camera (replacing the AA filter costs more than replacing the whole thing with most models) - if you scratch it you are up the proverbial creek without a means of propulsion.

they will also be working in a clean room so chances of grit or sand or other sharp edged paricles ending up on the filter are much less.

i'm happy to use a blower or butterfly on mine but on the rare occasion that this isnt enough i take it to filtration at vauxhall and use their while you wait service.
