Yes, thank heavens for white ceilings. I also use manual focus, F22 and use that shot as my test for whether cleaning is working or not.

On my K10D, a Giottos Rocket Blower is good enough for 'normal' dust where the DR system fails to remove it. For really stubborn dirt I use an Arctic Butterfly from Visible Dust. I haven't had to use the Butterfly much.

My *istD needs a wet system, Eclipse fluid (or straight methanol) to clean it thoroughly, but staining can be difficult to avoid.

The K10D has a special coating over the sensor cover and an equally special cleaner may be required which is version 2 of Eclipse fluid. I've never needed to use a wet system on my K10D . . . so far.

Nor the Giotto air blower, nor the biult-in dust removal system have done the job cleaning the sensor.
I've read about cleaning agents, but I don't like the idea of liquids on the sensor. Can the Arctic from Visible Dust do the job ?
Has anyone experienced the mirror brush, chamber clean and focusing screen swabs.

Thanks,
