Take some of these on your trip with you!
If you change lenses frequently, you will get grime inside the sensor region of your camera, and on a trip of a week or more, you are guaranteed to get some dust spots on your sensor.Bring the Giotto Rocket Blower, since that may take care of some of the spots. I have found about 50% of them don't go away with the blower.Carrying a small bottle of Eclipse sensor cleaner and these swabs can save your hours of time, not having to use the Q tool in Lightroom to get rid of the dust spots. It may take 2 or 3 swabs to get your sensor really clean, so bring half a dozen swabs. They are really one time use swabs: don't risk damaging your sensor by reusing a swab!In the past, I have used Pec Pads cut to the right size taped to a cleaning wand. These work quite well, but the premade swabs are a lot easier to use: just tear open the package, and you're ready to go. Not having to tape the Pec Pad to the cleaning wand is a huge time saver and is so much more portable when travelling.Hint 1: If you don't have a good lamp to work under in your travel location, try cleaning the sensor when you have bright sunlight to work with to shine into the mirror box/sensor area.Hint 2: When you put the wand with the Eclipse cleaning fluid into the sensor area, have it turned 90 degrees to the direction that you will be wiping in, parallel to the long side of the sensor. It's easy to accidentally tap the side of the mirror box with the wand if you are going in with the wand oriented to the short side of the sensor. You really don't want to wipe the sensor with the wand if it has touched anything else, since it can leave grease smudges on the sensor.Hint 3: You don't have to be ultra-gentle with the swab. Just smoothly go one way across the sensor, and then back again.To get an image that will show the dust spots, use a long telephoto, go manual exposure or aperture priority and stop down to f/22 or higher. Focus to infinity and point to a bland part of the sky and adjust your exposure with the shutter speed dial if you are using manual. Adding 1-2 stops of exposure makes the image brighter and easier to see the dust spots (+ exposure compensation). The resulting photo will allow you to pixel peep and find the dust spots easily.

A must have
This is a must have if you have a new DSLR camera does a really good job of cleaning the sensors if you're willing to do it on your own make sure to buy the appropriate sensor cleaner as well too not just the wipes

Well priced, but no solution included.
Given the price, its hard to argue that a good quality solution should be included. However, these swabs did an excellent job of cleaning the sensor on my Nikon D750. I didn't experience any kind of streaking or residue from the swab itself. I also found that this swab is quite effective even when used without a solution. If your sensor is only affected by dry debris, then this swab will do a good job even without a solution. Given the low price, I was able to use 2-3 swabs for each camera and get the job done very effectively.

Excellent product
These swabs are a huge bang for the buck. Vacuum sealed high density, super fine microfiber swabs have just the right amount of flex. The manufacturer should change the opening, however. The notch for tearing open the package is on the swab end instead of the handle end. Have no idea why they did this, but it almost guarantees that you’ll touch the microfiber while zipping open the package. I used an eyeglass spray that is mostly ethanol with a touch of detergent. Safe for all lense coatings, and it worked great on my sensor. Used one swab for cleaning and one for drying. Stay away from isopropyl alcohol. Even 91% ethanol did poorly in my tests - streaking and poor dust removal.

Excellent
This works perfectly for my Canon T6. I've had it for over a year now, i shoot mostly on weekends and on vacations. I love outdoor photography (Landscapes, wild life, wild flower macro, etc.) So, in that time as one might imagine, the sensor had gotten pretty dirty. Just blowing and brushing off debris wasn't getting off 3 very annoying spots. A couple drops of sensor cleaner and swipes with a swab and they were gone. No more post processing spot removal for now. When invariably they do accumulate again I have more swabs and sensor cleaner to take care of them. Great easy to use product.
