I try the easy steps first before progressing to other steps.

Step 1 - use a Rocket Blower, if that doesn't work...

Step 2 - use a nylon brush. Give it a blast with compressed air to give it an electrostatic charger so it will lift dust off the sensor. (never use compressed air inside the camera body). If that doesn't work...

Step 3 - use a viscous method (the Eyelead Cleaner you mentioned). I have the DustAid Platinum. If that doesn't work...

Step 4 - use a wet swap, I used the Copperhill cleaner.

Always make sure you have a fully-charged battery when you do the cleaning.
