Can I clean eggs ??

No. I will lightly wipe but overly dirty eggs I just don't incubate. I wash eggs that are dirty with hot water then store in fridge.
 
I'm wondering the same thing! I will be hatching duck eggs so I don't know how different the "rules" are from chicken eggs..?? My duck eggs get dirty no matter how clean I keep the coop and box so I would think I should clean them at least a little bit....

NO. Washing the eggs with any kind of liquid cleaner or water will wash off the protective

coating on the egg making it super easy for bacteria & disease to enter the egg. Plus,

Wiping and scrubbing tends to actually shove bacteria through the pores of the egg.

Simply avoid overly dirty eggs. Keep nest boxes clean. Slightly dirty eggs are OK.
