One of the challenges in sensor cleaning is finding the specks. Remember they are “upside down”…speck towards the base of viewfinder screen are towards the top of the sensor.

I use to be quite careful, with a couple of drops of fluid. But as time went on I gave it a good wash…on the basis a dry swap would do more damage. The solvent soon evaporates with lens off.

If you can locate the spot leaving the damp swap on the spot for a moment then redoing a clean may work.

You can also get sticky end things to lift visible specks.

My approach was to at first move the mark. If you can do that you have a chance of lifting it off.


If all fails you can take a reference photo against a white wall and use it as a subtraction layer in your editing programme.
