Your garlic looks great. No worries about those loose cloves.
Do not wash the cloves.
Let them air-dry in a shade spot on your back porch.
After they are all dry I remove the soil with my hands trying to be careful. I also cut a few of the roots away.
Make sure that the stems are all dry before you will store them inside.
I store them in one bathroom that is dark and cool.
I bunch maybe 10 together with an elastic and I secure them to a clothe hanger and hang on the shower rod in my dark bathroom.
I also started to pull my garlic ... but I stop and went to check my calendar by the moon.
I will have to harvest the rest next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday which they are ROOT days. In this way they will store better.

Here also a picture of last year harvest in the bathroom (with the onions too)
