If you look back several pages, well maybe just 1-2, you'd find a thread discussing it. This topic has been discussed many, many times.

the concept shd be less different than repairing a computer hdd...cos before u clean..u need ur surrouding to be dust free as well so..

1) open up the shower in ur bathroom for 5-10 mins.....dun use heater..just pure cold water and lock the bath room..
2) move in small table/chair into the bathroom (ur shower shd be turn off by now)
3) bring ur camera....and ur camera blower..
4) start blowing the sensor....
5) after done blowing the sensor...keep it back into the bag with the cap lock~

That would be a very humid environment to work in...

Even if it does work, it's quite an overkill, as the objective is to clean the sensor to an acceptable level for photography, not to silicone wafer fabrication cleanliness levels!
