The camera has multiple spots. Does anyone have experience cleaning the sensor on an XSi or similar?

You will require a blower, either a pressurized aerosol can or a manual run
rubber bellow type:-
[1] Go on your camera menu and press button until you go on SENSOR CLEANING,
[2] Remove lens,
[3] Press the SET button and go on CLEAN MANUALLY
[4] Go on OK and it flips up the mirror so that it exposes the sensor,
[5] Blow the sensor to remove any particles, dust etc - Do not touch the sensor
Make sure you hold the camera with the sensor facing downwards to avoid any further dust coming in.
It worked many times for me. Hope you get good results.
