What do you clean your eggs with before seeing them? What do you use to clean Your incubator?

Most people do not wash eggs before setting because washing removes the natural bloom of the egg and this is said to weaken the egg's defense against bacteria. For incubator I use bleach water.

Thanks. I did not wash before setting the last batch so I was worried I had done something wrong. I cleaned the incubator tonight with a water bleach mix. Hopefully my next hatch will be better.
