Most people have good luck with DIY kits and a number of people, myself included, use the Arctic Butterfly system. When I first used it, during a trip to the Joshua Tree National Park, I just could not keep the sensor clean after a day of shooting. In much less harsh environment though, I only clean it every few months. Try to change lens in cleaner places, point the camera down, etc. should help too.
