Shoutout to all the people warning about cheap sensor cleaning swabs

I bought a 20-pack of those no-name swabs off Amazon for $12 and ended up with a greasy smear across my D750 sensor that took 3 tries to fix. Total waste of time and money. Has anyone else had bad luck with the generic brands?

That greasy smear you mentioned, was it from the swab itself or maybe residual stuff on the sensor.

Wait, was that from the swab or maybe just my grubby paws leaving marks? I swear, every time I clean my phone I leave it worse than I found it. It's like I'm genetically programmed to smudge things. Probably my own greasy face rubbing off on the sensor while I was trying to take a selfie. That thing is like a magnet for my fingerprints. I could probably make a whole art project out of the mess I leave on electronics.
