I use compressed air and a very soft brush. :-)

There is a script-fu/gimp1-plugin for the coolscan2-backend available at:

www.xs4all.nl/~ljm/dirtyduster.tar

Works quite well for small scratches or dust. You'll need some experimenting 
with enhancing the contrast in the infra-red image.  Also, see 

http://andreas.rick.free.fr/sane/

for the original plugin. The plug-in part from my tar is practically an 
unchanged copy of this. Andreas also explains a bit how it works.
