If you're wearing quality jewelry, most types never need to be taken out for cleaning. Rings and barbells made of 316L surgical steel, 14k gold, and niobium can all be cleaned in the shower, with minimal attention.
Eyelets and plugs are a bit different. It's easier to take these out to clean them. Soap and water work the best. Wash acrylic jewelry more often...at least once a day.
The metals used in body jewelry is non-reactive, so while an alcohol or peroxide bath may make you feel better, its really not neccesary (alcohol doesn't kill some of the nastier microbes anyway). Use anitbacterial soap and water on both the jewelry and the piercing itself, and you'll be fine.

Put them in a cup of rubbing alcohol or peroxide. Careful with the alcohol if the jewelry is fake though

the jewelry expenses are extremely good, although that is sweet to to pass up on the piercings. I certainly have been huge-unfold to cost $40 and escape with it reckoning on opposition, yet i think of 25 or 30 is a marvelous honest cost.

Don't know if this is the best way but it's my way :), I take out all of them and soak them in peroxide for a few minutes, sometimes over night. The only one I treat differentlly is my tongue ring, I soak that in peroxide as well but then I brush it to make sure there's no plaque on it, then I soak it in listerine.

Wipe with a cotton ball soaked in either rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide.

Salt water will not kill bacteria. I would soak in either rubbing alcohol or bleach and wash thoroughly with warm/hot water
