Hi Pat, normally dust inside a lens will not affect the image quality. If it does , then really it needs to go to a service centre to be striped down and cleaned. I would imagine this is a zoom lens, as the moving parts in a zoom lens can cause dust to enter the lens.

You have to disassembly your camera for it, including the lens assembly.
Even if you have experience and skills in fixing electronic devices, I don't recommend it, since any particle of dust will get inside the lens and your camera, and will affect it.
The recommended place to perfom such cleaning activity is a Clean room (class 3 or higher), and have handy the proper cleaning tools.
Disassembling the lens is tricky and also needs a lot of patience and technique skills to do it properly.
Imagine that by accident a spring pops up a tiny metal ball (1.5 mm diameter) and you lose it in your home, then because of it, your lens will not work properly.
If it has warranty, I do recommend you to send it to cleainig to a professional repair and cleaning service.
If still you have questions or doubts, or need a cheaper quote for it (after get some quotes from local repair centers for comparison), you can contact the ebay seller Great_items_2004

SOURCE: How do I clean dust inside the camera?
You can't clean inside the camera. Dust inside the lens would be so out of focus, it wouldn't register on your pics unless the particle was huge. Do these splotches only happen in your flash pictures?

You can't take the lens apart. Even if you could, you don't have the tools or expertise to get it back together and properly align the lens elements.
Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you
need to do on a regular basis is
to keep the lens clean.
Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp.
Contact your dealer if other parts
need replacing.
Cleaning the lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the
surface.
• Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
• If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or
moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner
and gently wipe the lens surface.
Never rub the lens with abrasive materials.
