I did scanning without IR dust removal for quite a while. I think
atmospheric conditions have an effect. At least where I live, where it
is never really desert dry, it wasn't a big problem with careful
technique. My major approach was Dust-Off. If I still were doing it, I
would try the Swiffer (some other brand name there) technique that's
been discussed here and the ionizer gun I discovered during a discussion
of sensor cleaning.
