Ever watch Saturday Night Live when Rachel Dratch pretends to be Barbara Walters and says, "Camera-man! My filter!" and then all of a sudden her face turns blurry? Well that's what my pictures are looking like., so any cleansing advice is very much appreciated. =) I'd rather not purchase a whole cleansing kit, (though I will if I have to) but any safe home remedies would be the most ideal!

Unless the lens is really dirty, you should not notice the dust in the pictures. Blurry pictures are often caused by not able to lock the focus when the picture was taken or the shutter speed was not fast enough. I would try to take a few pictures in bright day light and see what happens.
For lens cleaning, you can use a blower to clean the dust. If it has finger prints, use a lens cleaning cloth from a camera store to clean it.

I wouldn't worry about a few specks, but clean the lens often with products made for the purpose. Get lens cleaning cloths and fluids at camera stores. Don't use paper towels or window cleaner. They will scratch the anti-glare coating on the lens and really mess stuff up. Kleenex is nice and soft, but has a lot of lint and sometimes chemicals that will damage the coating.

I've used Pentax and PhotoSilk lens cloths for many years. I've never used any liquids - might have to breathe on the lens once in a while for any stubborn smudges. Use a "lipstick" brush* to remove any loose particles of dust.
Actually I almost never clean my lenses - I clean the protective UV or Skylight filter that lives on every lens I own except my 16mm 180 degree angle of view full-frame fisheye.
* Its a brush in a tube that looks like a tube of lipstick.

I use those pre-packaged lens cleaning pads (similar to moist towelettes). They sell them at Wal-Mart $3 for a package of 50. I wrap a cotton swab with one of these towelettes, and wipe my lenses clean.
