Christine,
I understand where you are coming from in the comment on dust. I would suggest that is all the reason you need to have filters on. As you say you can remove the filter and soak the dust off if necessary, would not be advisable with the front element of the lens. I have the same problem on a rally field. If I was to scratch the filter in cleaning it I can at least replace relativly cheaply.
