Default CCD dust problem

My 7D ccd started to collect dust. Have any of you tried DIY cleaning before? What sort of liquid solution to use?

Try using those hand-press blowers used for lens cleaning first, try not to contact the CCD unless necessary.

Did try with the rocket hand-press blower, not effective at all. I can see some faint marks on the same spot everytime if I shoot with f8 and above, very annoying.

Send it in to KM service centre to get it cleaned for free.

Cheers!

Till your warranty expires. For viewfinder cleaning, I'm not sure if it's covered. But it might be a good gesture if they would do it for you.
