Warning -- Read the instructions for locking the mirror on your dSLR. Most manuals will suggest using a power-supply or a fresh battery. Heed the warnings! A weak battery may let the mirror and shutter slam down onto your Speck Grabber while you're cleaning, causing serious damage.

Look closely at the sensor. If you're really lucky you'll be able to attack the dust directly with the grabber, otherwise just concentrate on the suspected contaminated area. Either way, just gently dab the grabber on the sensor a few times. The grabber's nub isn't an eraserso just use soft dabs, not rubbing motions.

Stubborn dust or grunge from using a wet-cleaning process may take more effort.

Reshoot the test and repeat as necessary until all the dust is gone.
