The recommendation is often to remove the first protective film and then align it very carefully with the screen. This is easier said than done. As like as not, the sticky protector grabs the screen before you've aligned it properly, and you have to pull it off and try again. As you sweat and curse and begin to panic, in come the specks of dust and grit.
A much easier method is to take all the time in the world to position the protector on the screen....WITHOUT having removed the first protective film, which of course is the one that faces downwards. This way, you can get it near perfect. Once you are satisfied, take two pieces of clear adhesive tape an inch or so long, and, holding the protector firmly in its perfect position and alignment, apply the pieces of tape like door hinges, securing the protector to the phone.
Then lift the protector, like opening a door, remove the first protective film, and allow the protector to drop down onto the screen. Follow that with the rest of the installation procedure, removing air bubbles etc. Be careful when removing the tape hinges after their job is done.
This method works for both glass and plastic protectors. I find that it's much quicker than the normal method, and more likely to result in correct alignment with top, bottom, sides, camera lens, speakers, and so on.
Of course, at all stages, dust must still be kept at bay....GOOD luck.
