Should i remove the navel ring when cleaning my piercing?

in the beginning you when you get it done NO. DONT DONT DONT. it will close in the matter of seconds. so be very careful. ive had mine for a year. and i take it out for like 5 mins. Cuz i dont know how long it will bee till it closes. And i dont wanna test it. Hope i helped. need anything else. Feel free to ask.
