Changing lenses on your camera when you are in the field can cause dust and debris to land on your sensor when it is exposed. The 100-pack of Type 3 Sensor Swab Ultra from Photographic Solutions features 24mm wide swabs for FX or Full-Frame sensors. They're designed to clean oil, dust, and debris.

The thick and double wrapped swab is highly absorbent, and each swab is individually packaged to maintain the purity of the swab for cleaning. The fibers of the swabs do not shed once the sensor has been swiped across.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the shelf-life of these (sealed and stored) in a camera bag?

A: The shelf life for these swabs are indefinite, since they are just swabs and not fluid, they will last a very long time.

Q: 2. Does the Eclipse Optic cleaning fluid has the expiry date?

A: The manufacture does not list an expiration date on the Photographic Solutions Type 3 Sensor Swab Ultra for FX or Full-Frame Sensors (12-Pack, 24mm).

Q: 3. What is the life time of an unused swab which was kept in its package. I bought 3 years ago and I want to use.

A: 5 years is the most time one would want to wait to use these swabs.

Q: 4. I understand you should add sensor fluid to these, but do you need a tool to use these swabs like I see in other products?

A: The swabs are for use with fluid and no tools are necessary. Never use a swab without fluid.

Q: 5. I have a Fujifilm X-T20 and X-T3 what swab size should I get? Both are listed on type 1 (20mm) and type 3 (24mm). Please advise, thank you in advance.

A: You would want to use the type 3 on your Fuji X-T20 and X-T3.

Q: 6. Will this work with Leica M240 sensor ?

A: Yes, Photographic Solutions Type 3 Sensor Swab Ultra (12-Pack, 24mm) is specifically made for full-frame sensors. Your Leica M-240sensor dimension is 36 x 24 mm (Full-Frame) CMOS.

Q: 7. Are the swabs reusable?

A: No.

Q: 8. Do you have to use a liquid solution with these?

A: Yes, these swabs are meant to be used with Eclipse, the optic cleaning solution made by the same company as the swabs, Photographic Solutions (aka PSI, Photosol, Inc). There is a video on their website that will show you how. I have a 2 oz bottle and it has lasted for years. A note that not all sellers will ship Eclipse so look for an online dealer who will, or pick it up at a local store that carries it. Eclipse is safe and pretty harmless but has methanol in it which is flammable.

Q: 9. Are these swabs appropriate for the Nikon D850?

A: Yes, these are for a full frame sensor.

Q: 10. I have a Canon EOS RP. Will this kit work with its sensor?

A: hi--yes, this kit is compatible with the Canon RP.

I used this as directed. Then checked for spots in lightroom on a white screen image taken with a long exposure at f22. Made sure spots were visible. The result was a perfectly cleaned sensor. Amazing.

These seem to be good quality items for full frame sensors.
As described and delivered promptly. Cleaning solution ordered separately

I noticed that my sensor had a lot of dust on it when I shot some images using f/22 - f/45 (long telephoto images). I spent a great amount of time on PhotoShop removing the dust images from my shots. It was actually quicker to clean the sensor than to edit the images.

I was uncomfortable to clean the sensor but after doing some reading I learned that the sensor as a protective coating and if you read the instructions for these products it's OK to clean the CMOS chip. You must read the information and do everything suggested. If you put the swab down on a table it's dirty and cannot be used. You should not use any other cleaner than those recommended. You must clean the mirror box and outside of the camera before working with the sensor. If you have dust in the mirror box, it's just going to get into the camera...

This swab is the right size for my Canon EOS 5D Mark II. It took a couple wipes to get all the dust off the sensor, but it left the CMOS chip perfectly clean, and solved my problem of dust on the sensor. It took a few tries to get everything. I just cleaned, made a couple exposures at f/45, checked them, re-cleaned, until it was done.

There are some dumb examples of cleaning on the web - for example there's this one guy that is in a desert, opening his camera and cleaning it from the back of his truck... That did not impress me - I'd rather be in a closed environment with no dust floating around. Another guy used the swab to scour the sensor - he literally rubbed dozens of times - that did not seem like a good idea either...

This swab must be used with some form of cleaner - I used Eclipse from photographic solutions. This cleaner evaporates very fast and does a good job of cleaning.

Worked well for me. I did get streaks at first, like others. But after looking closely to what was happening I found that I was not putting enough of the fluid on my swab. It was getting absorbed and moved up the swab quickly leaving very little at the tip which actually touches the sensor. The fabric ridges of the swab were all that were able to touch the sensor since they were kind of stiff. After I realized this I put many more drops on the swab, not enough to drip off, though. Once the swab was thoroughly wet the ridges of the fabric were softer and squished more when I wiped, therefore getting rid of the streaks. Cleaned it very well.
