When I use the Sensor Cleaning > Dust Detection feature in my M10 Monochrom or M10-R, and see dust spots, I wonder if that image is reversed. The reason it matters is that when I then use the Open Shutter menu option to use a blower to clean the sensor, I want to direct the stream of air as directly as possible at the location where the spot is. So if I look at the image on the LCD from Dust Detection and see a spot in the upper right of the image, should I then direct the stream of air at the upper left of the sensor as I hold the camera facing me? (If that's correct, then the image is not reversed; the location of the spot is on the other side simply because I've rotated the camera body 180 degrees.)

With mirrorless cameras exposing the sensor whenever a lens is changed, dust and other particles can become attached to the sensor. as the sensors tend to heat up with use, I wonder if particles can become 'baked on'. The question I have is, how frequently do people clean their camera's sensor? And how do you clean your sensor, do you just uses a blower, a brush, wet clean with swab or a sticky gel like Eyelead? I believe that my ageing 'rocket' blower, where the bulb is made of rubber, is decaying and actually deposited fine particles on the sensor when I used it. How can I check, and what is the design life of a rubber blower brush? Some spots on my SL2 sensor took quite some removing with an alcohol-based wet cleaning kit and gel-based Eyelead.
