CLEANING SOLUTIONS
Packaged sterile saline is a gentle choice for piercing aftercare.
We strongly encourage you to use a sterile saline labeled for use as a wound wash or piercing aftercare.
Mixing your own sea salt solution is no longer recommended and will commonly result in over drying the piercing and interfereing with healing.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR BODY PIERCINGS
- WASH your hands thoroughly prior to cleaning or touching your piercing for any reason.
- SALINE rinse as needed during healing.
If your piercer suggests using soap, gently lather around the piercing and rinse as needed. Avoid using harsh soaps, or soaps with dyes, fragrances, or triclosan.
- RINSE thoroughly to remove all traces of the soap from the piercing. It is not necessary to rotate the jewelry through the piercing.
- DRY by gently patting with clean, disposable paper products because cloth towels can harbor bacteria and snag on jewelry, causing injury.
