To clean a new piercing, start by mixing a saline solution of 1 teaspoon of table salt and 8 ounces of warm water. Next, dip a piece of gauze or a cotton ball into the solution and use it to gently swab all around the piercing. As you dab the area with the damp cotton ball, carefully wiggle the piercing back and forth a little so that the saline solution can get into the entire piercing. Then, repeat this process twice a day until the piercing it completely healed to keep it from getting infected.

To clean a new ear piercing, start by washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water. This will prevent you from accidentally introducing dirt or germs into the piercing. Next, dip a cotton swab into a gentle saline cleaning solution. Most piercing experts don’t recommend using harsh disinfectants, like alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, since they can irritate the piercing and slow down healing. Gently clean the area around the piercing on the front of your ear with the cotton swab. Soak a new swab in the solution and clean the back of your ear as well. While you’re at it, gently turn the jewelry in the piercing about half a turn to keep it from sticking to your healing skin. Finish up by dabbing a small amount of antibiotic ointment on the front and back of the piercing with a fresh cotton swab. Give the jewelry half a turn to help work the ointment into the hole. Aim to clean your piercing at least once or twice a day, and don’t switch out your jewelry until the piercing is completely healed. In your earlobe, this should take about 6 weeks. If it’s in the cartilage, it may take a few months. Once the piercing is healed, take the jewelry out every night before you go to bed. Clean the jewelry with rubbing alcohol before putting it back in. Continue to wash your piercing with saline solution and treat it with antibiotic ointment at least once a month to prevent infections and keep the area healthy. If you see signs of an infection, such as redness, pain, bleeding, or discharge from the piercing, call your doctor for advice. To learn how to maintain healthy ear piercings, scroll down!
