Go with the microfiber cloth as the q tip may leave residue. Be VERY cautios, since if you do any damage it will turn a $50 sensor cleaning into a $400 repair or damage beyond repair.
What is on it? Is it showing in your photos?

in case you flow to any sturdy digital camera shop you will get sensor cleansing swabs (no longer q-tips) and cleansing answer. i'd try this and performance someone on the shop instruct you techniques to bathe the sensor. For mine, you blow off around the aspects, get rid of the lens, click on "clean sensor" and use the swab it somewhat is an same length because the sensor with a pair drops of answer. also, take a percentmaking use of blue sky or a white heritage earlier and after to work out if it worked. i favor to bathe mine. LOL Please study the hyperlink given contained in the source list. besides, flow and ask at a digital camera keep... i'm particular they're going to instruct you techniques. i'd not use the micro fibre textile or q-tips. you do not favor to scratch it.

That Could Work. Make Sure That's The Problem. If You Can't Find That Out And Get Aggrivated, Just Submerge It In Water, Drop Some Laundry Detergent In It, And It's As Good As New!!!!

M'kay......that's with a professional cleaning kit and someone who knows what they are doing. Don't be mucking around in there with an ordinary Q-tip or you are likely to regret it.
The best solution is to just pony up a few bucks and have it done professionally.

Just remember the sensor you clean you may need to replace. Is it worth the risk? Let a pro do it and he'll have to replace it if he F**** up.
I say this after cleaning mine one time to many(was not cheep)
