Cleaning my Camera

[gwendolyn]

My lenses' and cameras need a good cleaning. I've got some dust or hair or something on them. Should I take the into a camera shop and pay to get it done, or can I handle it on my own. If so, what do I need to buy?

I have a Rebel XT and Canon 40D.

Thanks!

For anything outside i just use a moist cloth. Thats 'moist' as in just damp...not wet. For the lenses it depends on their value...the kit lens i use my tee-shirt & maybe some spit if there is a grasshopper embedded onto it from hanging out of a car window. My 135 f2, i use a blower first...then soft lens brush then lens cleaning fluid with lens cleaning paper.
