Dirt on Viewfinder EOS 7D

Cleaning the viewfinder is tricky. I'd not advise you to do it if you're faint hearted and have never done it before. As daredevil asked, is the dirt inside or outside? How did your daughter reach the internals of the mount?
On the viewfinder lens... should be outside la, Inside I mean the fingerprint is in the mirror or focus screen or on the pentaprism/mirror.
Use a blower to blow first, then use some lens cleaning paper wrap on cotton bud, and try to clean softly.
If you see the fingerprint from the viewfinder and it is not outside, perhaps the mirror is the one that has the fingerprint. It is kind of hard to leave fingerprint on the viewfinder lens from inside.
If it is on the mirror, then try to use Lenspen which is dry cleaning to clean the fingerprint (instead of using lens fluid which might leave streaks on the mirror). Do take care not to touch the focusing screen as it can be damage quite easily.
