The GoodEgg Brush and Wash Review
Dirty eggs are a fact of life when you have chickens. Getting them clean can be a real hassle. That’s where the GoodEgg brushes and enzyme wash come in.

Bottom Line: Are These Brushes and Washes Worth It?
Yes. It sounds cheesy but this thing is the future of egg washing. Read on for my full review of the GoodEgg Brush and GoodEgg Wash.
What is the GoodEgg Brush?
This nifty little gadget is made with a nest design that fits easily over one side of your egg. This design allows for easy drainage as you wash your eggs.
It has over 600 flexible silicone nubs. You can use it with water alone or with their patented enzyme wash to clean gunk and goop off your backyard eggs. It comes with grippers on the sides that also double as a scrubber to help with extra caked-on stuff.

What is an Enzyme Wash?
This wash is 99% biodegradable and food safe. It is made from natural plant enzymes, not any sort of soap or detergent. This soap and other bacteria from getting into your egg through the shell pores.
What sizes does the brush come in
They have two brush sizes. The standard size will work for most chicken eggs. The larger size is more appropriate for duck eggs or if your girls lay extra large eggs.
Can the Brush Go in the Dishwasher
Yes! The silicone can absolutely go in the dishwasher. They designed these brushes so you should only need to buy them once and can use them for years to come.

Where Can I Buy the GoodEgg Wash and GoodEgg Brush?
This post contains affiliate links, which means I make a small commission at no extra cost to you. See my full disclosure here.
You can get them here from their website. Make sure you buy from them directly, not one of their knock-offs. These folks have designed the original egg brush and some other companies have made cheaper dupes that apparently don’t work as well.
How well does the GoodEgg Brush work?
Honestly this thing works pretty darn good. If you check out the YouTube video below you will see for yourself.
I was able to clean off eggs that had yolk from other eggs on them, poop, random gunk, straw, feathers, and even mud. It was especially impressive to see how well it cleaned the duck egg, considering how messy those things can be.
The brush alone worked well enough I’d consider it worth the investment. However, the enzyme wash honestly took the whole thing up a notch. I will definitely be planning to order their concentrated refill in the future.
How to Use the GoodEgg Brush
For best results, rinse your egg briefly in warm water. Next, add a couple pumps of the enzyme wash to the brush. Place the egg in the brush, and twist either the egg or the brush from side to side. Flip the egg and repeat the process on the other side.
Some especially goopy parts might require a little extra oomph, but for the most part you should find your egg comes clean in seconds.
Give the eggs one last quick rinse, then they are ready to use!
Dry your egg, then use it right away for cooking. Eggs should only be washed right before you plan to use them.

How much do they cost?
They have a few different options you can buy.
A single egg brush in either size is $20 plus taxes and shipping.
Both sizes will run you $38 plus shipping and taxes.
Just the wash is $12 plus taxes and shipping.
The Flock Essentials pack, which includes both size brushes and a bottle of the wash is $46 plus taxes and shipping. This is what I shared in the review video.
They have the Full Eggcellent Kit which includes both brushes, the wash, and an extra refill bottle of the wash for $52. Still have to pay taxes, but you qualify for free shipping!
They also have really cute shirts and general merch like this “Flock Mama” sweater.
You can find discounts around shopping holidays and also get free shipping if you spend over a certain amount.
What I Like About the GoodEgg Brush
This thing works really well and efficiently. The eggs are clean in seconds!
I think the best thing about it is having a dedicated egg cleaning tool. No paper towels or sponges getting who knows what bacteria on them. I have this cute little egg cleaner that I can pop in the dishwasher every night if I need to. It is sanitized and ready to go!
Selling Eggs? Please Don’t Skip this Important Note
Depending on which state (or country!) you live in, washing may not be allowed as part of the cleaning process for eggs you are selling.
In Minnesota, if you sell eggs from a small farm or homestead under a certain amount, you are not supposed to wash the eggs. Instead, you can wipe them with a towel, use the bottom edge of something to scrape any little nasties off the shell, etc. But you cannot wash them.
As I mentioned, I found that the GoodEgg brush worked really well with water and especially with the addition of the enzyme wash. However, when used just as a dry tool, it wasn’t as effective.
With that in mind, this tool would still be useful for your own personal eggs, especially if you sell all your really clean eggs and keep the “poop eggs” for yourself.
