Cleaning Instructions for Body Piercings:
Cleaning Solutions: It is no longer recommended to mix your own sea salt solution for cleaning piercings. This can lead to solutions that are too salty and strong, potentially interfering with healing. We strongly advise the use of sterile saline wound wash labeled for wound care, containing only .09% sodium chloride as the active ingredient.
Wash your hands thoroughly before touching or cleaning your piercing.
Use sterile saline wound wash to spray the piercing. Avoid moving or rotating the jewelry during cleaning.
Dry the piercing gently using clean, disposable materials such as gauze or cotton swabs. Avoid using cloth towels, which can harbor bacteria.
