I can clean seeds with the best of folks, but am having difficulty cleaning these.

What to do about microscopic seeds such as Goldenrod and Downy Aster? They have the 'fluff' like a dandilion, but the seed attached is smaller than a hair follicle.

I always just plant the whole thing, but have several folks wanting some of these and hate to send uncleaned seeds out. I want to remove the fluff before packing up.

I know that you can clean larger fluffy seeds by shaking in a paper sack, but these are so tiny, they disappear.Any suggestions?
