The day I stopped washing my eggs and everything clicked

I used to wash every single egg my girls laid, scrubbing off dirt and poop with warm water. I thought I was being clean and keeping my family safe. Then about 3 months ago, I read a post on here about the bloom and how washing actually removes that natural protective coating. I still didn't believe it until I left a dirty egg on the counter for 2 weeks and it stayed fresh while a washed one went bad in the fridge in 10 days. Now I just brush off the dry stuff with a scrubbie and stick them in the carton directly. Has anyone else had that moment where you realized a basic thing you were doing was totally backwards?

Dry brush only, changed everything for me too.

Right, because who needs moisture when you can just scrape your face off with a cactus brush every morning? Really adds that special "exfoliated rawness" to the day. I tried it once and my skin screamed so loud my neighbor called to check if I was okay. But hey, no flakes, so I guess that's a win if you're into the whole "crispy lizard" look. It's like a spiritual bypass for skincare - skip the real work, just go straight to mild abrasion.
