There are dire warnings on a number of the CCD manufacturers sites about 
causing static damage  to the sensors under the glass when you clean the 
surface. It may be that typically you ground yourself by touching the camera 
metal body parts when you hold the camera and thus, this is less likely than 
they make out.  If the camera body is plastic try to hold something metal like 
a hotshoe while you do this. Rubbing the glass with an insulated pad may also 
induce significant voltages under very dry conditions.  Maybe this is why used 
cameras get a lot of blown pixels sometimes? Possibly breathing on glass first 
might help.
