Wipes for eggs

[Vsackett]

Anyone have a recipe to clean eggs? Mine tend to be dirty due to free ranging. Thanks.

I was in warm water in the sink since I have to to sell in my state.

Warm water and Dawn soap with a Sponge Daddy works like a charm!

Here is a link from my state agriculture page. Two down is the section on proper egg washing and then there is a link to specific soaps/compounds as well.

Note: If you are washing eggs for re-sale purposes you should visit your NJ department of ag website as they may have different/specific regulations in regards to this.

If for personal use you definitely have a bit more flexibility. Generally I just use warm water (at least 20 degrees warmer than the eggs) and sometimes a paper towel to clean dirty eggs. Washed eggs will need to be stored refrigerated if not consumed immediately.
