Clean your piercing regularly for the first few weeks. Cleaning your piercing on a regular basis will help stimulate healing and prevent an infection. As a result, you should use a saline solution on your ears every day, and clean your piercing with soap as needed (once a day at most) for the 4-6 week healing period.
Always wash your hands before touching the daith piercing. Wash the piercing with large amounts of warm water for 5 minutes, 3 or 4 times a day. Soak the piercing in a salt water solution. You can do it by dipping a clean cloth in the solution and holding it to your ear (see more details in the next section).
