Default Sensor : DIY Cleaning or Not?

Afternoon folks,

I am on my first DSLR which is a Canon 40D.

A month ago I changed lenses whilst photographing a daffodil indoors which was a huge mistake as I now have pollen on my sensor.

The dots show up when using long exposures at small apertures.

Using a Rocket Blower does not shift the dust/pollen.

Devon Camera Centre once told me they could clean my sensor for about £30ish. This is a bit pricey for me but I am anxious about the idea of cleaning my own sensor. I could also ask Mifsuds (down in Brixham) for a quote.

Is it safe to do so myself and what product should I use or should I take it in for a professional cleaning?

Regards,
Andrew.
