please no rubbing alcohol. someone please tell me who is telling people to clean their stuff with rubbing alcohol so i can track them down and kill them and eat them.

warm water and antibacterial hand soap is fine. dial works great. if it gets infected, then use the sea salt (it's not necessary for regular cleanings)

oh, and join this group smile

Wait, wait, you said piercings in the title but jewelry in the post. Which do you mean? It's not okay to clean your PIERCINGS with rubbing alcohol (it dries them and makes them irritated) but it might be okay to use on just your jewelry, if that's what you mean.
