Need advice on film scanning

[yaoxing]

How do you guys "clean" your films before scanning them?

How do you guys remove scratch marks or fungi on your films?

if your scanner has ice use it for scratches. photoshop can also help with scratches.

I usually use a blower and a soft brush after I mount the negative/slides on the scanning tray.

But it would be best if you can get a scanner with ICE like showtime mentioned.
