Dust is the enemy, especially on digital sensors. Prevention is easier than cleaning.

I keep lens and body caps on until the last possible moment, and use a filtered blower bulb as the last step whenever the sensor or rear lens element is exposed. Always.

Cleaning lenses: first use a blower bulb. If that fails, Pancro cleaner with Kimwipes, in a circular motion.
-
Sensors: First step is the blower bulb. If that fails, VisibleDust solution with their swap sticks.
@quinn Once you clean your Leica’s sensor for the first time, it becomes easier each time after. I bet it’s a similar feeling for a surgeon performing their first procedure.
