You'd be surprised. When I applied the WriteSHIELD on my 700w, it had been sitting in a drawer for a few days in a dry office. I just brushed it off, and as I peeled the WriteSHIELD from the backing, I immediately applied it, and I don't see any dust. The matte surface may be obscuring it, but these certainly aren't dependent on having zero dust. I was quite surprised. It's not at all like the glue-based screen protectors, which are quite a bit more annoying.
Now, if I were to REMOVE the WriteSHIELD to clean it, I'd have to be careful -- the bottom surface would presumably be very prone to attracting dust, as it uses electrostatic forces to hold to the screen. This is why PPC Techs advises you to set up a sticky-tape backing that you then peel off of. In any case, I left that exposed only for a very short while while applying it to the screen.
