What are some generic rules for cleaning up full-color, scanned-in images in Photoshop? I'm new to the biz, and have a lot of content to share with my fellow Anonymii.

cleaning up as what?

OP here.
Well, I have the images scanned as PNGs, at 600 dpi. What's a good way to reduce filesize and get rid of imperfections, while still keeping the images nice? That kind of thing. Just some good techniques to get the pictures ready for distribution.

Most important is that you go find Adobe's Classroom in a Book lesson files for Photoshop.
Then, just fuck around with images you find(hint here /hint), until you get a good sense of what effects look good in what cases.
After that, not much.

First choose which proof colors you want to use (like monitor, etc) in view - proof setup.

Next up you should fix/readjust curves(ctrl+m) and levels (ctrl+l) as well as saturation/lightness (ctrl+u) if needed.

Small imperfections are removed best with the clone stamp or healing brush, I'll assume you know how to use them, they're kinda self-explanatory. If there's a large surface that's not smooth or something you could apply a filter (like despeckle or noise remover, whatever) to the whole image, make a snapshot, undo the filter and draw on the spots that need touching up with the history brush.
