Carefully.

A little brush is best, just to brush away the dust. A blower is also very good and useful (don't use compressed air).

That should clean out the vast majority of dust and dirt.

Touching the mirror is not a good idea, it's apparently very easy to strip off the silvering, which is a hell of a lot worse that a bit of dust. Stick with a decent blower like a rocket blower, but unless they're filthy, I'd probably learn to live with it.
