Just do a basic check on the film back. Blow and wipe with a microfibercloth if necessary, but that's it, unless it's gunky (I used to take mine apart and wash with soap and water LOL!).
If it's any consolation, lots of hair and stuff occurs during the processing handling stages, as well as scanning. You need to find a better lab.

can wash with water? but theres like mechanical bits. what if it rusts? so the dust and hair cant be from the shutter and lens right? |

Err...if not sure, don;t clean with anything except a microfiber cloth. I can;t be responsible for any rust or ehem!  Seriously doubt if it's from the lens, unless you were shooting at f/22 or smaller. |
