I wanted to get my camera cleaned for quite some time. I use Sony Alpha A7III with a 28-70mm lens.
Some white residue had come upon the exterior rubber of the lens along with a few minor spots that were visible in the photos and videos I shot.
I asked around and posted Instagram stories to get recommendations of people I can get my camera cleaned from. More importantly, trustworthy people.
Around 4-5 people replied to my Instagram stories and recommended the same shop in Chandni Chowk.
They had gotten their camera cleaned, and the broken lens fixed in a jiffy from them!

The cost of getting my camera’s sensor cleaned and the lens cleaned was ₹1,000 or ₹1,200, I don’t remember for sure 😛
It took about 2 hours.

The camera cleaning kit consists of 6 things: Air Blower, Cotton Swabs, Suede + Plush Micro-Fiber Cloth, Cleaning Brush, Cleaning Solution.
Also, on a quick note, I would strongly suggest you buy a lens hood.
Accidents can happen at any time. Every time my camera slipped from my hands (God knows how), my heart skips a beat.
But because I always had my lens hood on, the lens never bore any kind of damage.
