A few years ago a fellow photog gave me this tip when changing lenses out in the field, it seems to work for me, firstly switch the camera off and wait 40 seconds then change the lens and switch the camera back on, apparently if you take a lens off when the camera is still on the sensor has a static charge over it and it just sucks the dust in like a magnet, by switching the camera off that sensor static discharges and there is less chance of dust being sucked in, for the sake of waiting 40 sec I think it's worth it.
interesting, i never considered that! At events and weddings i often leave the camera on whilst changing lenses. Will try to avoid this from now on, thank you!
Good one Ian, I've banned my colleague at work from taking out Sony A7III into the dusty workshops at College for this very reason - we have an old Canon DSLR that can do the dirty jobs.

You'd think a shutter guard would be standard at this point. I clean the damn thing every three days ago the minute.
I never ise a liquid on the sensor, just don't trust me self lol, but do use a dry swob
Dry cleaning and air blower didn't shift it. It was bloody filthy 😂
