Is there a correct way to clean eggs that you are going to eat/sell?

Is there a homemade solution you can use, or is just water good enough? I saw some egg cleaning spray at the feed store, but I'd rather come up with a solution myself if possible. I know you shouldn't clean them if you're going to incubate, but what about the ones you refrigerate?
 
I don't wash any egg, not the ones for my family's use and not the ones I sell. According to Arkansas law if I want to sell them I should clean any visible manure with a piece of fine grit sandpaper, but thankfully I rarely see a dirty egg.

Edited for spelling, my brain went on vacation again

For ones to sell, I'd probably take a damp sponge to them if you saw dirty areas. Mine at home go straight to the fridge. If there's a smear of poo or blood, I rinse it off before I crack the egg open.
 
I do rinse mine in warm water if they have any poop or stains/smears on them. People do not want to buy poopy or stained eggs.
