Well, if you are going to sell in a commercial situation, rules are very different in most states so you need to check on this. In Ohio, people can sell their eggs at home with almost no regulations at all, (I think the cut off is 3,000 birds, so most of us are OK
)but if the eggs are handled in a location other than the 'point of lay' I think they call it, there are more rules.
Once you find out what those rules are, if they don't state requirements for washing etc, I think I'd not wash, but sell only the cleanest eggs there, make sure to keep the bedding in nest areas extra clean etc, and print up some labels or cards that tell people to wash -just- before use and proper handling and so on. I would NOT get into too much refrigeration discussion with them, just refrigerate them in this case, it's what people expect.
If they DO say what should be done, I'd do it of course, or you're opening up your family store to trouble.
I'd use caution with cleaners of any kind, eggs absorb such things, and then it's IN there with the good stuff. YUCK
