I tried to blow them away with compressed air (very carefully) but with no luck. I was not willing to try any of the methods which require liquids or scrubbing the sensor in any way. So I had reconciled myself to those two spots. They were anyway only visible in blue sky conditions, something we do not experience a lot in this part of the world. But then a few months ago I tried Sensor Scope from Delkin. It is a combination of very gentle brushes and a vacuum-cleaner, plus a powerful loupe with a light so you can really see what you are doing. It is gentle on the sensor and yet extremely effective--it removed those stubborn spots from my sensor after one application. It is not cheap, but since it works with every digital SLR and is not used very frequently, it will last for many years. In that light, it is not expensive.
