For eating eggs I wash them with warm water and soap.

For hatching eggs, I dont do anything. Unless I buy hatching eggs, then I dip them in Brinsea Incubation concentrate.

Nothing if they are clean. A damp dish towel if they are dirty.

I never wash them unless they are dirty

Then I will wipe them with a damp towel. You don't want to wash them since it will remove a protective coating and cause the egg to dry out. (or something like that....

)

220 grit sand paper, but only had to use that once so far in about 125 eggs.

I usually wash my hands, then use a papertowel to dry them. That puts just enough water on the towel to get most mud/poopies off of the egg if it needs it.

I soak ours in cold water for about 15 min and wipe them clean.
Haven't had any complaints yet.

I brush off anything stuck to the eggs when I collect them and store them as is. I wash them with a little soap and water just before I use them. That seems to be my best compromise between not worrying and germaphobe.
