D-SLR & Mirrorless Sensor Cleaning Brush

Remove dust with this statically charged brush!

Blow air through these bristles using an air blower and then gently whisk this brush along your sensor to remove dust. While this will not completely remove the need for wet method cleaning it will enable you to do it less often.

Our brush is made of high quality materials built to last
Our brush is made with nylon bristles that can easily be charged by blowing air through them with an air blower. Each brush comes with a high quality varnished wood handle and in a sealed tube for easy transport.

Instructions for use:

Follow these instructions precisely to avoid misuse and prevent any damage to your sensor.

Never let the brush bristles touch your skin. Oils from your skin will damage the brush and could contaminate your sensor.

The following procedure also requires a camera air blower. Perform procedure in location with as little dust as possible, with no fans or blowing air.

  1. Place your camera into ‘Cleaning Mode’ by following directions in the owner's manual.
  2. Utilize the air blower to blow off any large dust particles you can from the sensor.
  3. Remove the brush from the plastic tube, ensuring not to touch the bristles.
  4. Hold the brush by the handle in one hand and your air blower in the other. Blow air into the bristles of the brush at least five times, until you see the bristles separate when you blow. This is to charge the bristles with static electricity.
  5. With the camera still in ‘Cleaning Mode’, gently whisk over the sensor with the brush. This step utilizes static electricity to pick up dust from the sensor, so you should just barely touch the sensor with the bristles.
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 up to 3 times as needed. Check a test image to see if dust has been removed. If you still have dust on your sensor after repeated attempts, you may have particles that cannot be removed with this static method. In these instances we would recommend using a ‘Wet Method’ to remove them.
  7. If streaks are now present on your sensor, you brush was likely contaminated. Utilize a ‘Wet Method’ to clean your sensor and you will also need to clean your brush. Contamination can occur from the oils on your skin, lubricants in your mirror cage, or propellants in canned air (we recommend a hand blower instead of canned air for this reason).
