Default Soaking seeds getting moldy

Hi! I currently have a bunch of musa sikkimensis seeds soaking in cooled-down boiled water, and another bunch in a nitrozyme solution with the same water. All of them have been filled a little bit so a little part of the white embryo is visible. Despite all measures to do everything in as clean an environment as possible some of them seem to be developing a fluff around them. What would be a safe way to clean the seeds so they won't start to mold or rot when I plant them in soil? If it hadn't been for the fact that they are filled down and the embryo is exposed I would use antibacterial soap or something , but with the vulnerable parts a little exposed I am reluctant to use any harsher methods. Any advice or personal experience with seeds starting to grow a tad moldy?

Thanks
