Hold the swab at a slight angle to the sensor2. Sweep in one direction and then the oppositeDSLR Brush:1. Hold the brush perpendicular to the sensor with the bristles barely coming into contact with the sensor.2. You don't want the bristles to bend while moving across the sensor (this will result in you adding dust back onto the sensor..3. Use your air-blower (Giotto Air Blaster) not only to charge the bristles, but to remove previous dust. After getting surprised, the Holy Spirit quickly explained things to me. So I hit the brush from the sides, bottom and top, and dead center.Lenspen:1. It will leave carbon stuff on your sensor, but the spot will be gone :).2. Quickest methods for removal: Internal Camera sensor cleaner (lens cap off and camera facing down) and Giotto's Air BlasterGiotto's Air Blaster: Should be a part of this kit1. People complain that when they use the device they have more dust on the sensor then when they started :).2. Surprise surprise surprise (Gomer Pyle reference :) ). There exists a ton of dust in the sensor box cage.3. Dust patrol dust have other swabs you can use to remove as much dust as possible so it will not end up on the sensor before cleaning.Loupe: Not a part of the kit.1. I am still wrestling with keeping it or sending it back. I saw dust probably 5% of the time. I did better holding the camera up to the light. I saw more dust particles that way, but the most effective way to see dust is to take a picture.My setup for identifying dust. No Photoshop or Lightroom required :). Don't get upset with me if you try this and see a ton of dust on your sensor. It is not my fault :) .My method for viewing dust on a DSLR's camera sensor:Settings for Camera:Aperture Priority Mode:Aperture: F22 or F32ISO: 100FL: 250mmShutter Speed: 4 seconds (Automatically set in Aperture Priority)Tripod: maintain the same positionTest Subject:White piece of paper against the wall.Software:FastStone Image Viewer (freeware)1. Capture image2. Open FastStone3. Click greyscale4. Click Autocolor adjust5. Cntrl E: Set gamma to 2 depending on the level of brightness6. You will see dust if you have it :). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/48337431-alpha-17mm-sensor-cleaning-swabs-8pc-cleaning-kit-w-beta](https://www.desertcart.es/products/48337431-alpha-17mm-sensor-cleaning-swabs-8pc-cleaning-kit-w-beta) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
