Gentle, no-bleach wash for farm-fresh eggs. Simple formula lifts soil and protein residue so your eggs look tidy and ready for the fridge—or the incubator.
Backyard keepers and small farms that want a straightforward, warm-water egg wash for eating or hatching eggs.
Simple ingredients: Water, yeast, citric acid, potassium sorbate (preservative).
Easy mix: Capful dosing—no guessing or sticky concentrates.
Versatile: One method for eating eggs, a shorter soak for fertilized hatching eggs.
Low odor, no harsh sanitizers: A practical clean without bleach or quats.
For eating eggs
Mix: Add 2 capfuls per 1 gallon of fresh, warm water.
Soak: Submerge eggs 10–15 minutes.
Wash: Use a clean white cloth or brush to remove soil.
Rinse & chill: Rinse thoroughly and refrigerate after washing.
Discard: Throw out used solution after each batch.
For fertilized eggs (incubation)
Mix: Same solution—2 capfuls per 1 gallon warm water.
Short soak: 3–5 minutes only.
Lightly scrub: Cloth or brush, gentle pressure.
Rinse & set: Rinse and place in the incubator.
Discard: Dispose of used solution.
Pre-mix a stock solution (optional)
Mix 8 capfuls with 1 gallon fresh water to make stock.
For use: combine 1 quart stock with 3 quarts fresh, warm water to make the working solution.
Water • Yeast • Citric Acid • Potassium Sorbate (preservative).
Not a disinfectant or sanitizer.
Use warm (not hot) water that’s warmer than the egg to help lift soil without pulling contaminants through the shell. Any wet-washed egg should be refrigerated promptly. Keep cloths/brushes clean between batches.
