Cleaning your sensor is very easy to do your self.
The first thing I suggest you do is check your camera's settings and make sure it's set to clean ever time your turn it off and also when you turn it on. This may do the trick though that's a lot of dust and may need more.
If the above does not resolve the spots then try these in order:
The next thing try is a ball blower. Set the camera to lock the mirror up for cleaning. Do not make contact with your sensor and blow on the sensor. It's best if you hold the camera so the sensor faces the floor.
If this doesn't work, then try a sensor brush such as the ones by visible dust. If it is dust this should do it.
The last tool to try is a sensor swab with fluid. This is to clean spots created by water and oil and there are specialty fluids for each type.
I'm a fan of Visible Dust products yet there are plenty of other brands that work. The order I suggest goes from least contact and pressure on the sensor to most and is designed to remove things like hard dust before you apply pressure in the later steps. Lots of reading here:
