So here is the update of my salvage - success.
The seed that had the hot water scrub did no better or worse than the ones that were dipped in alcohol. Overall I got a very nice harvest of porcelains both Music and Argentina with biggest bulbs 2 1/2 inches across . There is some superficial damage on virtually all the bulbs, either by mites or by wireworms I think , but I think I will be able to strip most of them down to a clean wrapper when they've cured a bit, and have lots of good seed stock and garlic to eat. It is obvious, whatever the damage is, that it started late in the season and hadn't progressed far before they were pulled.
