Should you clean earings before putting them in for the first time?

Yes, it's a good idea to clean earrings before wearing them for the first time. This helps remove any dust, dirt, or potential allergens that may have accumulated during packaging or handling. Use a gentle cleanser or rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball to wipe them down, especially if they are made of materials that can cause irritation. Ensuring they are clean can help prevent infections or allergic reactions.
