The rule is to not contaminate the surface. Use a slightly moist, not wet piece of cheesecloth, wipe the shell down, then allow to dry. This way there is nothing foreign on the wood. When I varnish, I make tack cloths by mixing 50:50 the varnish I'll be using, and thinner(as per the label), then squeeze as dry as possible. Good luck.

someone mentioned "swiffer" wipes, i believe. other then that, i guess a moist cloth would be best.

Best way is to blow it off with compressed air. Once you apply a moist cloth, it'll raise the grain a bit, and some guys will want to sand that off again anyway. Best way is compressed air. Second best is damp cloth. Why would anyone waste a Swiffer?

Shop vac, followed by a really cool tack cloth that I picked up a while ago. It's a microfiber cloth with no sticky stuff added to the fibers. The fibers naturally pick up dust, so there is nothing on the cloth to contaminate the wood. I believe I found it at Wal Mart.

If you're sealing bare wood, a vacuum will be enough!
Those towels Bryan suggested should work!
