is it possible to clean eating eggs w/ a soft/gental soap or does it have to be a special egg soap?

Question

we raise layers and wondering if we can or not. if we cant where do you find a egg cleaning solution. and the eggs we are going to eat.

Answer 1

Egg shells are waterproof so a bit of soap/ washing up liquid and water is fine.

Leave them to dry.

As with all eggs (incl. store bought), you should cook then thoroughly anyway.

Answer 2

Eggs are water and airtight. You can use the soap and rinse afterwards.

Answer 3

When we had chickens we would just wipe them with a damp cloth. No soap.
