FAQs
Can I use these swabs on a full-frame camera?
No, these 16mm swabs are designed specifically for APS-C sensors. They will not cover the full width of a full-frame sensor effectively.
Is the cleaning fluid safe for coated lenses?
Yes, the provided alcohol-free, non-corrosive solution is safe for camera lenses, filters, and sensors.
How many times can I use one swab?
Each swab should be used only once to ensure no contaminants or oils are transferred back onto the sensor.
Do I need to turn off the camera before cleaning?
Yes, always power off your camera before cleaning, except when it is in the specific 'Sensor Cleaning' or 'Manual Cleaning' mode defined by your camera manufacturer.
What should I do if the swab looks dirty after one pass?
If the swab appears dirty, discard it immediately and use a fresh swab to continue cleaning. Never reuse a dirty swab.
Troubleshooting
Visible streaks remain after cleaning
You may have used too much cleaning fluid. Use a fresh, dry swab to gently wipe the sensor again to absorb the excess moisture.
Dust still appears on images
Ensure you are using a clean work environment. If dust persists, repeat the cleaning process, ensuring the swab is clean and the sensor surface is free of oils.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This kit is specifically calibrated for APS-C sized camera sensors. Before use, ensure your camera battery is fully charged to prevent the sensor from closing during the cleaning process. The included cleaning solution is versatile and can be used on other optical surfaces such as camera lenses and filters. Always store the cleaning fluid bottle tightly capped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the formula. Dispose of each swab after a single use to prevent re-introducing particles to the sensor.
