Cleaning a Navel PiercingThey usually say at least twice a day for a month. wash it really well with soap and water (preferably 'green soap' or surgical soap, but any colorless dial type soap should be fine) than once a day if you feel like it, fill a shot glass with warm water and some sea salt DO NOT use every day table salt (it will infect it), hold the shot glass upside down over the piercing for 15 minutes. this draws dirt and bacteria out of the piercing. keep washing it twice a day for at-least 4 to 12 months.
