The only safe way to do it is to lock the mirror in the up position and then with a little "squeeze" bulb, gently blow air across the sensor a few times and then check by shooting a photo of a clean blank wall.

Take it to any good camera shop and they will usually have a service for cleaning your camera for you. Ask them to show you. If they do it multiple times a day with multiple different cameras they are going to know all the ins and outs. Besides the piece of mind of seeing how to do it with your very own camera will be worth the $20 or what ever it costs. This is something you should have a pro show you.

Its not difficult - just time consuming. I use the eclipse 2 solution with the sensor swab - they'll probably have the right size for your sensor. They are quite expensive, but I honestly can't find anything better. One tip. Before you use any type of solution or swab, get yourself a good foot blower (much, much better than the hand rocket blowers). Lock up your mirror and have at it. I find that this actually works a good percentage of the time without having to use solution. Afterwards, take a picture of something white at F22 or F32 and this will show you how clean your sensor is. I have a Canon 5D and have gone thru this process a number of times.
