To clean a piercing, there are several methods that can be used. The most common methods recommended by dermatologists and piercing experts include:

• Saline solution: A salt water solution can be used to irrigate the piercing. This can be done by soaking a cotton swab or gauze pad in the solution and gently dabbing it on the piercing. This should be done one to two times per day.

• Sterile saline spray: A sterile saline spray can also be used to irrigate the piercing. This should be sprayed liberally on the piercing, and the jewelry does not need to be rotated. This should be done one to two times per day.

• Mild liquid soap: A natural, fragrance-free and dye-free soap can be used to clean the piercing. This should be lathered around the piercing and then rinsed thoroughly. This should be done once per day.

It is important to wash your hands before touching the piercing, and to avoid using perfumed soaps or harsh antibacterial soaps. It is also important to avoid over-cleaning the piercing, as too much touching can irritate it.
