Help me on cleaning supplies?

Right now i've been getting alot of do's and don'ts about cleaning
Lens
Sensor
Filters
Smudges
finger prints ect

So i just want to know where people get their stuff
and what stuff they use.

I've been using a soft microfiber cloth for cleaning the lens and filters, so far.

You have two methodologies for sensor cleaning: dry cleaning involving brushes and wet cleaning involving swabs and cleaning solutions. Some people only use one or the other and some people use combinations of both methods. The same goes for vendors. Some of them only promote one or the other and some of them promote both. There's plenty of information out there for you to make your own decision.

As for companies, two of the better known names in sensor cleaning are Visible Dust and Copper Hill Images.

If you are careful when you change your lenses, sensor dust shouldn't be an issue.
If you always hold the camera such that the lens opening is face down, and don't
change lenses in windy conditions, dust should be a pretty minimal problem.

Also make sure your lenses themselves aren't dusty! (at least the end you stick in the camera).
