Cleaning new earlobe piercings. Can I stop now?

I had a second piercing in each earlobe on 2nd Jan. I’m cleaning them twice a day with piercing cleaning spray. They’ve not oozed or been swollen since they were done and now look completely normal. I won’t change the studs for another month but do you reckon it’s ok to stop the daily cleaning around them ? It is over 40 years since I had the first ones done and remember cleaning them for 6 weeks but they were a bit inflamed and sore, which these haven’t been at any point. Thanks.

I think that would be fine.

About a month after I got my second lobe piercing, I took out the studs just long enough to give the piercing and the studs a really good clean, then put them back in. Then I left them alone for another few weeks until fully healed.

Thanks DramaAlpaca. Right I think I’ll stop then. I think if they were going to get infected or cause problems they’d probably have done it by now. I’ve not been touching them with dirty mitts or anything.
