Hi. I have a Nikon Z6 and I'm coming to London this weekend - I've just spent 2 weeks in Morocco in a hot dusty environment and my sensor (and probably my 24-70 lens)  needs a good clean.  I'm going to be staying in Pinner, Middlesex for a few days next week and was looking for any recommendations for where I could take my camera to get cleaned before I head up to the far north of Scotland.  Thanks in advance!  Janie Gillies

hello,

You can easily clean and remove dust from your lens and sensor step by step. you don't need to go out for cleaning your camera sensor, just give yourself 10 min to your camera. I hope this is the best solution. 

 

Here’s a simple step-by-step instruction that you can follow to clean your DSLR lenses and keep them in good condition:

 

Using an air blower and a soft-bristled brush, remove as much dirt as you can. Add a drop or two of lens cleaning fluid to a microfiber cloth or a cleaning wipe. Starting from the outer part, wipe the lens in a circular motion going to the center and gently remove fingerprints, oil, smudges, dirt, and dust.

 

Here are the four must-have supplies in your lens cleaning kit:

 

Air Blower

Soft-bristled brushes

Microfiber cloth and cleaning wipes

Cleaning fluid

 

thank you.  :)  :)

There is no recommended procedure for cleaning Nikon mirrorless sensors yourself yet AFAIK. Cleaning a DSLR sensor is easy, with well documented systems commercially available. The Z series is said to be different.
