I use a Kensington circular polarizer on my Mac+ (helps wonderfully, since
my Mac is in direct sunlight sometimes). Unfortunately, the electric field
from the screen causes the dust to stick to BOTH SIDES of the polarizer. I've
had some success with a special anti-static glass cleaner (safe for plastic)
that I found at a local electronics store (as in parts and service, not Radio
Shack). It still gets dusty, but not as fast.
