"No and it's not recommended. The shell is porous and so if you wash (especially using anything to rub the shell), you risk introducing bugs from the outside to the inside. No need to wash eggs. "

No never wash them.
Don't put eggs in a fridge as the shell is porous it will take on the smell of other products in the fridge, unless you want to introduce a taste, has to be a pretty strong taste like onion, garlic, truffle.
Give it a whirl.

Why in the holy hell would you wash eggs?
I’ve worked in restaurants and kitchens for over 20 years. Used HACCP and food safety guidelines rigorously for that time and never, ever have I seen guidance regarding the sanitation of egg shells.
Unless you’re licking them, you’re good.
Well, if you’re licking egg shells I’d say you’ve got bigger problems than a few chicken vulva bugs, but you get my meaning |

We don't wash off the protective layer, that's why our supermarkets don't keep them in the refrigerated section.
In America they do wash the eggs and they therefore have to be refrigerated in their supermarkets.
Not sure why anybody would wash an egg. |

Never washed one in my life, I use about 5 dozen a week for cake making and get them from local egg farm, never had any issues.
Neither do I store them in a refrigerator. |

"I’m not sure why someone would wash eggs?
Because they have come out of a hen's arse ?"
Oh no, really.
I thought they took little buds from an egg plant, stuffed them in the little egg box compartments, used that as an incubator and a few weeks later, ready for the supermarket shelves.
Well you learn something new every day.

"No, I've never heard of anyone doing that tbh!"
This is an American thing. They wash off the protective layer which makes them more susceptible to bacteria.
Only time an egg needs rinsing is if it is farm fresh and a little dirty. |

I don't even put them in the fridge. (Except during extreme heat like at the moment). The clue is, they never are in the retailer.
Why would you wash something you are not going to consume? |

"And when? Before cooking, before putting them to the fridge or you don’t wash them at all?  "
If you buy prepackaged eggs there is absolutely no need as they washed when processed.
Nor is it necessary to keep them in the fridge except when it is very warm. The air in a fridge is dry and, as the shell is porous, it can dry them out. |

No No No, don’t was your eggs, they have a natural waxy coating that protects and keeps them fresh, wash them you lose that protection.
And for the same reason you don't need to keep them in the fridge |
