I have used this kit to clean my multiple SLR's I have owned. Very easy, no risk if you do it right (easy directions) and perfect results. No dust even at f/22 on a blue or white background.

Highly recommend it.

1

Remove the lens from the lens mount to expose the sensor located at the back of the camera body.
2

Using the dust free brush, gently sweep along the sensor.
3

Mount the lens to the camera body and take a test photograph (use a solid, non patterned object for your control) or put the camera into "cleaning" mode if available. Examine the resulting photograph for dust. If the dust has not been removed, dismount the lens and continue.
4

Moisten the camera cleaning swab with a small amount of methanol cleaner.
5

Wipe the moistened swab gently across the sensor.
6

Remount the lens to the camera body and take a test photograph. If necessary, repeat the process.

Srry, but your steps are wrong.

Removing the lens on a DSLR will NOT expose the sensor. It WILL expose the mirror.

You need to lock the mirror UP to expose the sensor.

If you want to DIY clean the sensor the kit listed in the first post is great. It's the same tools the local shop is going to use to clean the sensor. I buy the same tools from the local pro shop.
