Question: how long should you clean your ears after getting them pierced?
Answer: After the first 6 weeks and for the first 6 months, do not go longer than 24 hrs without earrings to prevent the skin from closing up. After the first 24 hours, if you earlobes get red, painful or swollen, loosen up the backings a bit, cleanse your earlobes 3 times a day, and wait 24 hours.
