I bought a cheap kit to start with when i started removing the dust with the swabs i found a lot of dust behind the metal frame that is around the glass in front of the sensor. It think that this is a side effect of the blower. Fortunately there was a stick with an adesive material in the kit. I moved the dust to the center of the sensor and removed with the adesive. I did all the operation very slowly, it tooks me over 2 hours, but the sensor is now perfectly clean and most important thing now i know how to do it by myself!

There are a lot of things that i learned after i switch to samsung and this is another, very important one!

PS: I found my self very comfortable with the sticker method. What i really need is a magnifier with led lights to help the process!

It may depend on the way the blower is used. I hold it upside down and blow from a distance. I then slowly swabbed as well. took me about 45 minutes. 
What ever method works for you though.. I don't think there is a right or wrong way.. (well there is a wrong way but I don't think either of us are doing the wrong way )
