camera needs cleaning

Help...my camera needs cleaning. Can anyone recommend a place to send it to be professionally cleaned?

Are you meaning that the sensor needs cleaning or the body needs cleaning, or both? Which camera?

You really need to learn how to clean your own camera. You could send your camera in to the mfg and after changing one lens, or just in the jostling of shipping knock a piece of dust loose.

It's a little intimidating the first time but after that no big deal.

Not sure how to go about learning to clean my own camera...is there a web site? or book?

For cleaning the sensor start with this post:

For cleaning a lens:

For cleaning the camera body just use a damp cloth. It should be damp enough to make dirt and dust stick to the cloth, but not wet enough to drip.
