I am so glad to hear that I'm not the only one experiencing seed cleaning/sorting/drying difficulties! If there's a stupid method of seed saving, I've done it.
Besides tripping over nothing to scatter seeds throughout the house, I've sneezed away a few handfuls, inhaled a few teensy ones, exhaled countless numbers across the debris I just sorted through, and created surprise harvest packs by dropping dried plates of seeds over numerous others. I once spent hours sorting the seeds away from pods only to learn weeks later that I'd unknowingly thrown away the seeds and stashed the trashy bits! @#$%^
I now look up pics for the seeds of new plants so I'll know what I'm looking to save.
