We wipe off any bedding or the occasional "dirt' or other substance on the shells.
For those of you who don't wash...
Do you reuse your cartons? Don't they get dirty? I would be concerned about making a breeding ground for nasties in the cartons.
Here in PA you are supposed to wash in mild bleach and keep refrigerated if you are going to sell eggs. We are very small, only family and friends, so it's optional for us.
We do refrigerate, however. I read the eggs rapidly lose their "goodness" at room temp. Ref: Grading of the eggs and such.
