The best salt is the salt you don't use. You don't need salt to clean a piercing, never have never will. Yeah there will be some who say "my piercer said", yeah what ever, bottom line cleaning daily with diluted liquid antibacterial soap and a water rinse and leave it alone. Unless you know exactly how to use and make a saline solution, don't bother, you can mix it too strong and end up burning the tissue with the concentrated salt.

How do you clean belly jewelry once removed?
You're best bet is to clean it in a salt solution (a mixture of salt and boiling water). You can also clean it in alcohol such a vodka.

If you've got the sea salt spray, lay on the floor, fill up your bellybutton with the sea salt, and the top part. Let it soak in for a bit and with the corner of a folded paper towel, dip it in the puddle of sea salt, and clean your jewelry. Then just clean out your bellybutton

You don't want to put Epsom Salt OR table salt on ANY piercing. They contain sugar and will cause infection. The ONLY thing to put on a fresh piercing is SEA SALT. Using 1/4tsp of sea salt with 8oz. of warm water, and soak the piercing for about 10 minutes twice a day. It is the best thing to help heal your piercing. When you are in the shower, use Dial soap to clean it also. But sea salt soaks are amazing for helping heal a piercing.
When cleaning a piercing does using uniondized salt hurt?
If you were to clean your piercing with salt by itself, it would certainly hurt! What people actually clean their piercing with is saline solution- a mix of sea salt and water. (A good ratio to use is 1 table spoon of salt per cup of water.) The saline solution itself should not hurt your piercing. However, sometime cleaning a piercing will irritate it. This may hurt, but the salt is not responsible.

Can you put peroxide on a belly button piercing?
No, when I got my belly button pierced my piercer told me specifically not to use peroxide or alcohol on the piercing. If peroxide or alcohol gets on it, it'll be fine but it dries out your skin which isn't good for healing or cleaning. Use soapy warm water and a sea salt water mixture to throughly clean your piercing, that's what I used, as I was following my piercer's instructions. I've had my piercing for almost 7 months and I've never had a problem with it.
