How to Clean a Piercing

Clean new piercing 3 times a day for first 3 days, 2 times a day for the next 3 days, then once a day for the rest of the healing process with a low pH soap. HibiClens, Dial, or Lever 2000 is recommended. Do not use HibiClens on mucous membranes such as genitalia, nose, or mouth. Avoid soaps that contain perfumes, deodorants, or other additives.
