I came across this site and wondered what other's thought.
I personally can see the same as a few other that I've spoken too, that this could be used as an intermediate type of sensor clean.
ie as suggested by "Lomond"
1. Air blower.
2. Sensor Brush. ( Pixel Sweeper )
3. Copper Hill.
Anyhow, judge for yourself at this site (http://194.100.88.243/petteri/pont/How_to/a_Brush_Your_Sensor/a_Brush_Your_Sensor.html)
If you think as I did and just go and buy a flat artist brush please take heed.
The main problem with new cheap brushes is their willingness to shed their bristles. Make sure ALL the size has been removed before you use it too
Start now buy a brush and spent a week washing it in cold clean water every day to remove both size and loose bristles, remember to protect the brush end with a covering in between times to keep loose dust off. A rolled tube of printer paper is sufficient and easily changed.
The point is that a very clean, soft brush cannot be anymore harmful than dragging a plastic scraper covered in a wipe across the sensor. As in both methods keeping stray dust and dirt away while doing the operation is paramount.
