What's the best way to clean my scanner?

Question

Everytime I scan in a photo, the photo of it on the computer is full of spots and I have to clean up the image with Photoshop. I doubt water would work, but what are some ways to clean the scanner so it's free of dust?

Answer 1

special cheap wipes

Answer 2

Try wiping the glass and the backing with tissue paper and a little bit of alcohol. That usually helps.

Answer 3

get a damp towel or paper towel and use only water. other chemicals could damage it. good luck!
