Care instructions for piercing jewellery
Piercing jewellery should be cared for regularly and carefully to keep it clean and in good condition. Here are some recommendations for the care of piercing jewellery:
- Wash your hands before touching piercing jewellery. Never touch piercing jewellery with dirty hands, as they can harbour bacteria and dirt.
- Clean piercing jewellery regularly. For example, you can clean piercing jewellery with mild soapy water and wipe it dry with a towel. However, avoid using sharp objects or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the jewellery.
- Use gentle cleaning products for piercing jewellery.
- We recommend changing piercing jewellery after a shower or sauna when the skin is soft and clean.
- Replace piercing cups if necessary. If your piercing earring is damaged or starts to look old and worn, it is best to replace it with a new one. This will help prevent infections and keep your piercing healthy and thriving.
- Take note of the location of your piercing. For some piercings, such as the nose, it is particularly important to clean the jewellery regularly as it is more prone to contaminants and bacteria.
Remember that if you feel uncomfortable with your piercing jewellery under any circumstances, stop wearing it immediately and discuss it with your doctor. They will be able to give you more information on how to care for your piercing and help you keep your piercing healthy and comfortable.
