"The rule of no realm is mine. But all worthy things that are in peril as the world now stands, these are my care. And for my part, I shall not wholly fail in my task if anything that passes through this night can still grow fairer or bear fruit and flower again in days to come. For I too am a steward. Did you not know?" Gandolf

When I'm done I make a note of what tomato it is, and maybe a note about this particular tomato and the year date I'm saving the seed for. That's it I'm done. The seeds stick to the paper towel so you don't need an envelope. They'll stick there till next spring.
The reason for cleaning the seed is so that you can make a presentation for sale. A nice clean envelope with seeds that pour out. Seeds than can easily be weighed.
I find that my seed germinate better than store bought tomato seeds. You get used to peeling a seed off the paper towel. It becomes second nature. Much better than dumping an envelope into..... Oh no! all over the carpet. I think possibly the better germination rate is because I vine ripen my tomatoes. I do know that my seeds are bigger than another guys beefsteak tomato seeds. Also makes them easier to handle.
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you sow.
