If you are covered in dust from an enemy that threw a `Dust of Appearance` on you, how to do you negate the effect that keeps you from going invisible for 5 minutes?
This wondrous item seems like faerie fire in a can, I'd say dispel magic could deal with it.
If you want to consider it sparkling physical dust deposited over a creature then take a bath as William said or a minute's worth of applications of prestidigitation can wipe clean two 5 feet cubes, enough for a mediun creature to fit in.
It's based off of Glitterdust but has a caster level of 5. So a dispel magic could supress it (it's still a magic item so it can't be dispelled completely) for 1d6 rounds.
Glitterdust, of course, I stopped reading when I saw faerie fire in the item description, my bad.
Good call on the temporary effect of dispel magic but if I have read the spell description correctly the suppression lasts 1d4 rounds instead of 1d6.
It does I guessed off of old effects from 3.5.
What about a Create Water to wash off the dust?
From the description of Dust of Disappearance I'm not sure it counters.

DESCRIPTION
This dust looks like dust of appearance and is typically stored in the same manner. A creature or object touched by it becomes invisible (as greater invisibility). Normal vision can't see dusted creatures or objects, nor can they be detected by magical means, including see invisibility or invisibility purge. Dust of appearance, however, does reveal people and objects made invisible by dust of disappearance. Other factors, such as sound and smell, also allow possible detection. The greater invisibility bestowed by the dust lasts for 2d6 rounds. The invisible creature doesn't know when the duration will end.

Also it seems like a very costly counter if it did work...
1-cubic foot per round with Prestidigitation is not something to do in combat.

No, certainly not. :)
An option in combat beside Dispel Magic could be the Gust of wind spell? Maybe universal solvent too?
