#photography nerditry:

Dust is the enemy, especially on digital sensors. Prevention is easier than cleaning.

I keep lens and body caps on until the last possible moment, and use a filtered blower bulb as the last step whenever the sensor or rear lens element is exposed. Always.
Cleaning lenses: first use a blower bulb. If that fails, Pancro cleaner with Kimwipes, in a circular motion.
Sensors: First step is the blower bulb. If that fails, VisibleDust solution with their swap sticks.

@skandhurkat@masto.ai my experience is they end up being like playing whack-a-mole.
