I have more than 200 shots on my trip but some photos almost all landscape has small spot on the same spot but sometimes it's clear, sometimes it's blurred but still has a spot. When I got home and uploaded it on my PC I saw the spot and I cleaned it right away. My post cleaned shot has no more spot but I didn't not used F22. (I'm thinking if it's on my polarizer filter lol. because most of my indoor shots has no spot while using UV filter though I cleaned them both thoroughly).

You've probably used a larger aperture for those indoor shots than for landscapes, sensor dust is seen clearly only in small aperture shots. It's very unlikely you'd be able to see dust that's on a lens filter.

I thought I'll hurt my camera when I air blow it when turned off, guide on the net and vid tell you that it should be on max battery and etc etc. and hey, I'm watching Canon body lol.

Cleaning process for slR cameras and slT cameras is different, stop looking at instructions for canon or anything else but SLT.

I'll go try this out now, will take at F22 shot.
I'll tell my result.

Use the smallest aperture your lens is capable of, take a picture of a single color wall, sky, or similar, you don't even need to focus, and any particles on your sensor should be obviously visible.
