I think I am also a 'cleanliness freak' as are a few of my nudist friends. Another issue, is that Textiles who use public transport or cafes and restaurants, have no idea of who has sat on the seat earlier and left sticky fingers, icecream or chocolate etc behind. (excuse the pun). We have light coloured fabric chair covering in the house and they are starting to look very shabby from Textiles! So a towel is ALWAYS a wise idea.
When you talk about the towels that nudist carry around with them to sit on, how do you know which side they had against their bottom at the last stop? Could be defeating the purpose if it gets flipped around each time. LOL!

Good observation. However, a bare bottom, even if clean, can act like a suction cup on smooth surfaces such as leather or vinyl. Unless you're hopelessly germophobic, that towel adds another layer of sanitation.
i have thought about this "which side up" issue before. my plan, should i ever open my own nudist B&B, would be to offer guests a two-toned towel, one side darker than the other. say blue: light blue on one side and dark blue on on the other. (wouldn't work so well with black, of course.) then each person would be on for remembering which side for them is "up" and which side is "down." were there more nudists who needed such a solution, there would be a market for such towels i would think.
Body oils can present quite a cleaning problem over time! I recently had some wood floors refinished, and the floor guy told me we should never walk on the wood floors barefoot!!! He said over time oils from our feet would dull the finish and even cause it to wear out sooner. So now I am "naked-with-socks" and always grab a towel before sitting naked - on the floor!
Love to have hard wood floors. We currently have tile floors and carpet. I'm barefoot almost always ... even when we have guests. I only wish we had taken the Asian/Polynesian path with regards to removing your shoes before entering our home. With young grandkids ... removing their shoes could be detrimental to ones olfactory receptors! LOL
I think I would still go barefoot even with hardwood floors and still sit naked on the floor without a towel ... but I don't even sit naked on our tile floors ... too hard and too cold! We are frequently sitting naked on the carpeted floors. As I type this, the carpets are getting their bi annual cleaning. We had some of the upholstered furniture, that is sat on most of the time, cleaned yesterday ... even though we always sit on towels on all our furniture, when we are naked.
