First try the sensor cleaning using a bulb blower without the brush attached. Without touching the sensor, get as much air as you can out of the bulb to hit the sensor.
Blow a few times in as clean an environment as you can find.

Try at least three times, if that clears it up great. If that fails you will need to use a swipe thing, which I can't remember the name of right now, which are supposedly safe on the CMOS.

Hopefully someone else on the forum will let you know what it is called.

If it has a bunch of dust that won't come off, there is also the option to send to Canon for cleaning, but have heard some come back with more then left.
