My uncle's old advice about egg washing made me lose a whole carton

He told me to always wash eggs right away because it keeps them cleaner. I did that for two years. Then last month I read the shells have a protective bloom and washing strips it, letting bacteria in. Sure enough, the dozen I washed sat in my fridge for 3 weeks and two of them smelled awful when I cracked them. Now I only wash right before I use them. Has anyone else gotten outdated advice that cost them eggs?

Ugh, that's such a bummer, I've definitely been burned by old family tips too!
