How do YOU keep dust off drying negatives?

from Bob Atkins (bobatkins@hotmail.com)
How do YOU keep the dust off drying negatives? All my negatives seem to get dust stuck to them. After a final rinse I hang negatives up in my darkroom (actually my bathroom) and let them dry. I don't use forced air. I've tried squegee vs. non squegee and the only difference seems to be that squegeeing causes scratches and dust vs. just the dust...

Short of working in a class 100 clean room is there any simple (inexpensive) solution to the dust problem? I was thinking of something like a 4ft length of plastic pipe with some sort of dust filters on the end, but maybe I'm trying to solve a problem that shouldn't be there in the first place. Maybe some sort of dust trapping air filtration system?
