In the olden days.... they used a very light grade sandpaper to get off the worst bits. It was a huge no-no to wash an egg.

You really don't want to wash the eggs. They have a coating called a 'bloom', which protects the interior from bacteria. Wiping with a dry or slightly-damp cloth, or using a 250 grit sandpaper for the worst spots works great. If an egg needs to be washed, best to do it right before cracking it.
