CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
1) WASH your hands thoroughly prior to cleaning, or touching on or near your piercing for any reason.
2) SALINE soak at least two to three times daily. Simply invert a cup of warm saline solution over.
the area to form a vacuum for a few minutes. The longer you soak, the better. For certain placements it may be easier to apply using fresh gauze or a cotton ball saturated with saline solution. A brief rinse will remove any residue.
3) SOAP no more than once or twice a day. While showering, lather up a pearl size drop of the soap to clean the jewelry and the piercing. Leave the cleanser on the piercing no more than thirty seconds, then rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of the soap from the piercing.
4) DRY with disposable paper products such as gauze or tissues, because cloth towels can harbor bacteria and catch on new piercings causing injury. Pat gently to avoid trauma.

use sea salt and water soak it
Do not use rubbing alcohol. They should have given you some cleaning solution where you got it pierced. Since you didn't get any see if you can get to a piercing place yet tonight and buy some. Otherwise just use mild soap and water till you can go get some tomorrow.
go to BMEzine.com and look around there. they have an FAQ page that you can find everything you need to know about your piercing.
Rubbibg alchol would be good to clean your eyes after just having them pierced .
alcohol or peroxide
All that is required is rubbing alcohol. Dip several cotton balls in the alcohol and wipe down the front and back of the ear lobe where the earring is. Do this every night for the first week. After cleaning the area make sure that you turn the earring as well. After the first week you don't have to clean the site daily - just a few times a week - until all traces of blood and gone and there is no sign of infection. Also, do not remove the earring for at least 1 (one) full month.
Good luck and enjoy your pierced ear.

yes alcohol-turn the earring every day when you clean your ears.Don't use peroxide as it may fester germs into the ear lobe instead of cleaning them out.
No, no...do not use rubbing alcohol under any circumstances. Rubbing alcohol should never be used on nonintact skin! Hydrogen peroxide is not good either!
