I just got my nose pierced and am sort of confused about the cleaning process.?

what kind are you using? H2Ocean un-iodized sea salt is a very good brand. put the USS with warm water 1:8 salt:water ratio. 2-3 time daily, you can put it in a small Dixie cup and just use a que-tip clean all around it and on the inside too. DO NOT TOUCH THE PIERCING: unless you have just washed your hands, and be sure to wash your hands after cleaning it too.
