Most of the forums online say to clean your freshly laid eggs by just rubbing them clean with your fingers under hot, running water. This can take quite awhile, especially in the winter when the chickens get everything muddy with their feet. It's also kind of gross. I have found the perfect tool for cleaning my eggs. I use a corn brush, made for de-silking corn cobs. It is a gentle, yet really effective scrub brush.

I have never seen a corn brush, I am going to get one. :)
They are awesome and can be found at bed bath and beyond for around three to five bucks. I have had mine two yrs and its hardly showing any wear.
I toss it in the dish washer after I am done scubbing a batch of eggs for the fridge. It also saves a lot of time trying to de-silk corn and scrubs mushrooms and potatoes well too!
Thanks Bluefenox. Next time I'm near a Bed, Bath and Beyond, I am going to see if I can get a couple of these to use for silking corn this summer.
I was in Bed Bath and Beyond a couple of weeks ago and bought two of the corn brushes. We don't have chickens but we do have some corn and I used the brush to removed silks tonight.
This is my husband's corn brush. When I went into Bed, Bath and Beyond, I told the clerk at the front that I needed an egg brush to silk corn. I see I got it backwards but she took me right to them. This one is my husbands and it has not been opened yet but it won't be long before both of them will be in action.
