Manna Pro All Natural Egg Cleanser (16 oz)

Enzyme-Based Egg Washing Solution for Table Eggs and Hatching Eggs

Product Description

Manna Pro All Natural Egg Cleanser is a concentrated, enzyme-based liquid for safely cleaning fresh eggs. Made with a four-ingredient formula of water, yeast, citric acid, and potassium sorbate, no harsh detergents of any kind. Two capfuls diluted in a gallon of warm water creates an effective cleaning solution that removes stains, dirt, residues, and contaminants without penetrating the eggshell. Includes a separate protocol for fertilized eggs intended for incubation.

Benefits

• Enzyme-Based, No Harsh Detergents: The cleaning action comes from natural yeast-derived enzymes, making it a gentler option for eggs that will be consumed or sold.
• Will Not Penetrate the Eggshell: The formula is specifically noted to clean only the exterior surface of the egg without penetrating or compromising the eggshell or the bloom underneath.
• Safe for Table Eggs and Hatching Eggs: Separate directions are provided for fertilized eggs intended for incubation, with a shorter soak time that cleans without harming hatch rates.
• Only Four Natural Ingredients: Water, yeast, citric acid, and potassium sorbate, a minimal, clean ingredient list with no undisclosed chemicals, surfactants, or fragrances.
• Removes Common Egg Contaminants: Effectively lifts dried manure, blood spots, dirt, and general coop contamination from the egg surface when used as directed with a cloth or brush.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why use an enzyme cleanser instead of regular dish soap?

Ans: Regular dish soap contains synthetic surfactants and detergents designed to cut grease, which can strip the natural bloom from an eggshell. The bloom is a natural layer that seals the shell and keeps bacteria out. Enzyme-based cleaners work gently on organic contamination without aggressively stripping the shell surface, which is why they are recommended for eggs over standard household detergents.

Q2: Will this cleanser penetrate or damage the eggshell?

Ans: No. The product is specifically noted to clean the exterior surface only without penetrating the eggshell. The four-ingredient formula, water, yeast, citric acid, and potassium sorbate, does not contain compounds that break through the shell. This is one of the reasons it is also safe for use on fertilized eggs going to an incubator, provided the soak time is kept to 3 to 5 minutes.

Q3: Can I use this to clean hatching eggs?

Ans: Yes, but with a shorter soak time. For fertilized eggs intended for incubation, limit the soak to 3 to 5 minutes rather than the 10 to 15 minutes used for table eggs. After soaking, lightly scrub, rinse thoroughly, and place the eggs in the incubator promptly. The shorter exposure time cleans the exterior without the extended contact that could affect hatch rates.

Q4: Do I need to rinse the eggs after using this cleanser?

Ans: Yes. The directions specifically call for thorough rinsing after washing. Even though the formula is natural and enzyme-based, any cleaning solution residue should be rinsed off before the eggs are refrigerated or sold. Rinse each egg under clean running water after wiping and before placing them in storage or packaging.

Q5: What contaminants does this cleanser remove?

Ans: It helps clean away common egg messes such as dried manure, blood marks, dirt, and coop residue left on shells during laying and handling. Soaking eggs before scrubbing improves cleaning results, as it helps soften stuck-on debris, making it easier to remove with a cloth or brush.

Q6: Can I mix a stock solution ahead of time for high-volume use?

Ans: Yes. The directions include a pre-mixing method specifically for high-volume use. Mix 8 capfuls of cleanser with one gallon of fresh water to create a stock solution. When you're ready to clean, combine one quart of the stock solution with three quarts of fresh, warm water to make the working cleaning solution. This method reduces the measuring step for operations cleaning large egg batches regularly.
