Another day, another breach. Time to cancel this account I never use.

As others have pointed out, a Rocket blower is essential. But to get that sensor really clean, you need three more things:
1. Sensor brush - used in combination with the Rocket.
2. Sensor swabs - be sure to get the correct size for your sensor!
3. Sensor cleaning fluid.
Use the blower and the camera's built in vibration cleaning until you can free the fiber and as much of the dust as possible. Obviously, the camera must be in manual sensor cleaning mode for the Rocket portion of this step.
Then, apply a dozen or so blows to the sensor brush with the rocket. This will give the brush a slight static charge to help it attract dust. Carefully brush the sensor while the camera is in manual sensor cleaning mode.
Lastly, apply some sensor cleaning fluid to the sensor swab and wipe across the sensor, keeping the brush at an angle, with the stem pointed in the direction you're moving the swab. I would do this a few times, since it looks like your sensor is probably pretty dirty. After you have wiped in this direction a few times, angle the brush the other way and repeat the process, so that you are now wiping with the clean side of the swab. When you're done, remove the swab and power down your camera.
I'm not sure how well this works for you on your budget (the bill for this shopping list comes to around $50), but these items should last you a while. The brush and the Rocket are both long-term investments. The swabs are obviously single-use, but the fluid is used in such small amounts that a bottle could easily last a few years.
Good luck!

It's very simple. The site is laid out in such a way to make it difficult to close one's account. So, people sign up, find that the site is not for them, but then can't figure out how to close their accounts. They give up. Time passes.
