First time I used this I saw a marked improvement in the cleanliness of my sensor. I've used other products, and my sensor is usually fairly clean, but with this it is now completely clean.
A little awkward to use at first but it gets the job done!
After I learned the tricks the sensor got perfectly clean. A piece of advice: do not reuse a swab. I tried (cheap!) and it left a smear :-)
Once I used a brand new one, the smear was gone.
If you haven't cleaned your sensor in months (or years) this is what you really need. This used with the cleaning fluid will remove the stubborn spots that a brush might not be able to dislodge.
I recommend this method for sensor cleaning. It beats using a hurricane blower of the artic butterfly. The downsides are these: you need to be extremely careful when using, and the swabs can only be used for 2 passes (1 pass a side). But you've paid a lot for your digital camera so it's worth the investment.

Need delicate hands to use this product. Especially if you are touching the camera sensor with the dust swab. The dust comes back quickly. Invest in a good bulb blower, it works just as well, unless your sensor is really dirty, like you just photographed a construction site. Otherwise a [...] bulb blower will work wonders.
i use the swabs with smear away and vdust sensor liquid . The products work well.
