Now I need to know how to take care of the really dirty eggs that I get every once in a while.

Are your roosts above your nest boxes? Chickens will only rarely poop in the nest box when it is used solely as a nest box. Poop ends up in it if they are using it to sleep in, hang out in (because they have nowhere else to hang out) or if the roosts are located above the nest boxes. Without knowing more information about your set up it is impossible to guess why the eggs might be dirty.

You can wash the dirty eggs in warm water and eat them. Not a problem.
