    Have a look at the ScalaDoc for Seq,

    scala> dirty.distinct
    res0: List[java.lang.String] = List(a, b, c)
    

    Update. Others have suggested using Set rather than List. That’s fine, but be aware that by default, the Set interface doesn’t preserve element order. You may want to use a Set implementation that explicitly does preserve order, such as collection.mutable.LinkedHashSet.
