Cleaning of dusty slides

In the near future I intend to scan a lot of my older slides, partly also because in these bygone days I seemed to have a much better eye :?

In addition, I want to digitalize many of the expedition pics from my colleague at work and also mine (since we travelled a lot together).

Is there any non-destructive way of thoroughly cleaning slides which have collected quite a bit of dust through the years (partly due to unproper storage)?
I don't want to remove all dust specks in PS since there will 100's of pics.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

 

Unfortunately, I have a Dimage Scan Dual IV from Minolta. The first and last time that tried to help my institute save money. It took three replacements until the unit worked - the question is for how long. Somehow I hope that this unit, too fails very soon, because I have the permission to throw it out of the window then :twisted: and replace it by a Coolscan.

Thus, if anybody tries to talk me into buying another Konica/Minolta product he has to run for his life :x , or as Joseph Wisniewski put it:
"friends don't let friends buy Minolta".

 

Andy, danke für den link!
But I think I have to somehow destroy the Minolta thingy first, because I will not buy the scanner privately. I would rather invest my money in another top lens for my collection.

Cheers
