Go past the creamy white til you get to hard white rhizome. and here again
either use a colorx solution and let it dry in the sun for a feew days tsill
that area is all nice and dry, or if you are sure you got all the rot off you
can dip it and replant or dust it and replant. the bleach is acting as the
antibacterial.
By the way how mant iris do you have in all?
