I generally don't get any dust on the chip when using the camera on a telescope, but I'm careful with handling in order to minimise the possibility of dust entry (keep a cap on, keep camera face down, keep the cap face down on a clean surface, etc).
Immediately after modifiying the camera there were spots on the chip so I did a wet clean with isopropyl; the most difficult part of the procedure was accessing the APSc sized chip deep in the camera body. It would have been much easier to clean the chip while it was out of the camera.

There are special DSLR sensor cleaning swabs, which have a long handle on them to reach down to the sensor. They are made of plastic and covered with a sensor sized microfibre cleaning cloth. Like these:

I have used these for years. Other sizes are also available. They are also useful as debayering tools if you are thinking of mono mods (if using the glass polish technique).
