I had a spot appearing on images, thought it was some dust or something on the sensor that wasn't removed with the camera sensor cleaning function. So - decided to use a can of compressed gas air duster to blow it off. A big blob of something came out of the can landed on the sensor and despite the promised 'leaves no residue or condensate' there is now a faint film of something on one part of the sensor. Can they be cleaned in other ways ? Replaced ? I'm kicking myself..

The sensor has a glass covering which is what has the residue left on it, a good (proper) clean will probably sort it. It is unlikely the sensor itself is damaged from behind the glass.

Sounds promising .. How to clean it properly, wipe it with alcohol or distilled water ?

There was a thread about sensor cleaning on here some time ago (maybe 18 months or so?) but one contributor really seemed to know his or her onions on the subject. I think they cleaned sensors bigger than the rest of us can dream about for a living. Might be worth a search?

Thanks - I should have read the never use canned air part

A follow up. Had it cleaned at a decent camera shop for 40 Eur and all is good.

That would have been my advice from the beginning but you appeared to be on a mission! Good news anyway,
