How often should you change/clean your earrings?

Question

I quite often wear my earrings for days at a time and sleep in them what should I really be doing with them in terms of changing them and cleaning them. Thanks.

Answer 1

probably should be more than i do mine, i think its good to do them in a bit of disenfectant about once a week

Answer 2

You should really take your earrings out daily, and not sleep in them as there is a chance that the butterfly backs can get stuck inside your ears (have seen this happen and the person in questions had to have them removed by the doctors) as for cleaning I would clean them once a week, I use TCP solution to do this.

Hope this helps x

Answer 3

leave them in (hoops best), don't change them too often - this irritates the ears. if you shower regularly, to be honest for ear lobes this should be enough - but if you're worried, clean them once a week with a mild solution, or salt water.

Answer 4

I never sleep with my earrings on as i dont find it comfortable to sleep with jewellery on and i mostly wear different earrings everyday. If you want to wash them just clean them with soapy water.

Answer 5

i change mine to suit my outfit and if wear hoops big ones i take them out but others i keep in.when i shower mine gets washed but every 2 mths i will put all my jewellery into vinegar or cola to clean them and make them shiney and new

Answer 6

Answer 7
