K&F CONCEPT 24mm Full Frame Sensor Cleaning Swab*10 + 20ml Sensor Cleaner, DSLR SLR Digital Camera CMOS and CCD Sensor Cleaning Swab Kits for Nikon Sony Canon Camera Clean

I was very surprised by this. It is high quality, you get many swabs and lots of solution. It's very easy to use, and cleans very quickly and very well. Pretty valuable for the money and worth every penny compared to trying to clean manually (do not)

This worked for me. Your results may vary: First, make sure you are in a stable aired environment, not windy or dusty, preferably indoors, without any fans on. Your sensor should be clear of any dust or debris; use a blower on it. Open the cleaner fluid bottle first as it is sealed. Take out 2 swabs. On the first swab, use 2 drops in the front edge of the swab, evenly distributed, make sure to wet corner to corner. Open your camera's sensor, and make sure you have a light source pointed on the inside so you clearly see what you'redoing. With the wet swab, gently and firmly swipe from one end of sensor to the other, in one direction (up to down; left to right; doesn't matter but dont switch it up). Do this a few times. Then with the second dry swab, do the same thing, and try to polish off the streaks left behind by the liquid. Then give a few good blows on it (with a blower, not your breath), and voilà! You're done! A few notes: When using the swab, you want to press firmly, but not hard, as you may damage the sensor. If there are any hard debris on the sensor, like dust or sand, no matter how small, you risk scratching the sensor when swabbing it. Use a blower and make extra certain there are no visible debris on the sensor. If your sensor uses IBIS, it will not be stationary, and will wobble around as you try and swab it. This method was taught to me by a friend, who has been cleaning his own many cameras, over the years, so I was confident when using it. But as always, please use common sense. Excellent product! 12mm was too small for my m4/3 sensor, but got the job done regardless.

I was so nervous to clean my camera sensor for the first time, but this kit made the process incredibly easy and stress-free. The swabs are perfectly sized for the M4/3 sensor, and the cleaning liquid works wonders. I had a few stubborn dust spots and even a small oil smudge that wouldn't budge with a blower, but a single pass with one of these swabs and a couple drops of cleaner left my sensor looking brand new. The fact that it comes with 10 individually sealed swabs and a squeeze bottle of cleaner is a huge bonus. It’s a fantastic value and has become an essential part of my camera maintenance kit.

Instructions could use some improvements but the product worked really well and I have sold many different products of this type.

Doing this kind of sensor cleaning is not very hard nor very easy. If you follow the instructions as is, you will get poor results. Understanding the process helps in knowing how to tweak the process and that involves using less fluid and wiping several times with the dry swab. When I first tried this as per the instructions, a layer of cleaning fluid was left on the sensor, which was noticeable in my images. I then repeated the process but used only one drop on the swab. When I went to the second step with a dry swab, I just didn’t swipe across twice as the instructions say, I kept going until all the cleaning fluid was wiped away and the surface of the sensor was clean. Just like what you would do when cleaning a window, you keep passing with you towel until the glass is clean, determining this visually. It was almost like I was polishing the sensor, very gently. Now, I know many will say that this is harmful to the sensor. Actually, it is not the sensor you are cleaning, there are layers of filters placed over the sensor. You might argue that you can damage these also but if you are careful this does not happen, at least in my experience. In my case it is a full sensor Nikon sensor and I think they anticipate this and made sure the upper most layer of the filter array is tough enough to withstand this slight rubbing with the dry swab. So, this brand of cleaning sensor worked good for me after modifying the technique. The cleaning fluid formula could probably be improved as to not leave any residue and I am not sure if other brands have achieved this, all you do is try them or read reviews to determine this. K&F Concepts is a good brand but because of this problem with the cleaning fluid I had to give them four stars instead of five. Of course, if you are going to take my advice then you must understand that there are variances of technique and you might not get the results I got. If you are not willing to try this then your only other alternative is to have the camera sent out to have the sensor professional cleaned.

Had dust on the sensor and needed a way to remove it. These are a great option and inexpensive. I cleaned the sensor following the instructions once and rechecked for dust on the sensor. I did still have more spots on the sensor after cleaning it so I used a second cleaner stick and cleaned it again. After testing a second time all the spots I could see were gone. The camera is functioning great and the clarity is like new again.

I was extremely nervous about cleaning my own sensor, but the instructions were great and this product is very easy to use. Highly recommended.

The build quality is solid and professional. Nothing feels cheap or rushed. It’s designed to do one job and do it right. Cleaning performance is excellent. One pass is usually all it takes. No streaks. No residue. No second guessing. The kit is straightforward and confidence-inspiring. You’re not fighting the tools or worrying about damaging your sensor. Everything feels controlled and intentional, which matters when you’re working at this level of your gear. Bottom line. Every photographer with a full frame camera should own this. Five stars without hesitation.

Bevor ich dieses Set zum Einsatz brachte, hatte ich für zwei gebrauchte Kameras mit verschmutzten Sensoren ein mehr oder weniger Noname-Produkt probiert. Das Fluid hat allerdings nach dem Reinigen Putzstreifen hinterlassen, die kurioserweise erst einige Tage später(!) aufgetaucht sind. Mit dem Set von K&F hatte ich keine Probleme, die Reinigung erfolgt rückstandsfrei.

Simple product but effective. enough cleaning solution per swab, never left a streak or stains on sensors.

Ottimo e pratico kit di pulizia per sensore full frame

Una opción muy fácil y económica para limpiar el sensor de la cámara en casa. Desde que compré mi Sony A7 IV hace un año no había limpiado nunca el sensor, en parte porque hay mucho miedo alrededor de este tema y parece que es algo peligrosísimo o extremadamente frágil. Mi experiencia ha sido justo la contraria. El proceso es sencillo: unas gotitas del líquido en el isopo, pasadas suaves, y el sensor queda como nuevo. Siguiendo los pasos básicos, no hay ningún problema. El sensor es bastante más resistente de lo que suele decirse. Para quien tenga manchas de polvo y no quiera estar llevando la cámara al servicio técnico cada vez, este kit es una solución práctica y eficaz. Muy recomendable.
