You might try a electro static eliminator before you use the blower (with a valve). I kept my very old Realistic DISCOTRON® from my vinyl record playing days.

It shoots Positive and Negative ions when squeezed. The ions remove any static charges from surfaces and dust particles. Then the blower can simply remove them. Be sure to hold the camera body facing down because - well gravity is your friend.

And before anyone gets all bent. No, the use of static eliminators will not damage the sensor in any way, shape or form. However, today static eliminators are pretty pricey, since their demand has dropped off the cliff.
