Sorry to hear about your sensor problem. It's good practice to hold the camera sensor facing down when changing lenses or blowing dust off. Sensor dust is a fact of life, I get a lot of it with mirror less cameras. You can get around it to a degree by avoiding stopping down below f5.6.
I have some sensor cleaning kit but I don't use it any more as there was a massive scratch on my sensor when I took it for pro cleaning. Fortunately the manufacturer replaced it free of charge.
Now I create a mask removing spots in Lightroom for each set of photos that show problems and only ever blow it clean held upside down. For oil spots I give it back to the manufacturer who can clean it in one of their branches. They also do this gratis, which makes doing it myself an unnecessary risk.
