How do some growers dry/clean their bulbs so they have a nice brown skin

I am attempting to dig most of my bulbs this season.  Too much work.  My process has been dig, rinse off dirt with hose, dry on a rack in the sun for ~week, Once the roots are dried I clean by hand and then do HWT.  Some varieties have a beautiful brown outer skin, others not so much.  I wonder if I’m doing something wrong.  I’d like to hear what others do to process their bulbs.

 

I’m finding not much cleaning/drying information is on Daffnet.
