I agree with everything Craig said. In most DSLRs the mirror-up function for sensor cleaning removes all power from the sensor.
Back when God was a boy I had a Pentax K10D and I had to learn how to clean the sensor myself because for some reason, it was a dust magnet. With the correct technique, swabs and sensor cleaning fluid (and practice) it can be done quite safely. However, I have never had to clean the sensor on any of my later DSLRs, Canon or Nikon. I practice what Craig advised.

Take my advice. I'm not using it.
