Yes absolutely always be careful, that's why I said follow the instructions,
I also see where they have some brushes now that are (supposedly) made just
for cleaning dust from the sensor cover.

Yup... but be careful about using any solvents... they will hurt the IR
and Antialising filter more than a nice soft cotton cloth... the CCD is
actually behind another piece of glass behind the IR/AA filter... try the
anti static brush that was once used to brush the dust from negatives...
if they are safe for negatives then it will be more than safe for these
glass... the problem might be reaching it though... all in all be
careful...
IF you just need the sensor cleaned you can buy cleaning kits, they work
very well, if you follow the instructions you will not damage the sensor
cover, you really never touch the sensor.
