Cleaning Your DSLR Sensor

"My sensor on my SD9 had been getting dirtier and dirtier. I admit I am not the most careful when it comes to changing lenses. I had some success with methanol-based products early on but as the camera got more and more dust, I just couldn't get it clean and often felt like I was just moving dust around. With my SD9, I had pretty much given up and just spent time with Photoshop using the clone tool and healing brush; this process was getting longer and longer and naturally more painful! My SD10 was starting to get more dust in addition. Desperate to find a solution, I tried the Sensor Brush from Visible Dust which someone had mentioned at one time on the forum."

So I have to admit too that over the last year, I have gotten more and more careless while changing my lenses, and even though the pictures that I take are not completely dirty, I think a round of cleaning would not hurt. Digital Outback Photo has an article that looks at using a product called the Sensor Brush to clean the sensor inside a digital SLR camera. Do any of you use any products that you would recommend?
