I use Satin therapeutic skin cleanser in the shower, and at the opposite end of the day, I soak it in salt water. You have to mix 1/4 a teaspoon with 8 fl oz of warm water, put it in a shotglass or small cup, and hold it to your belly button for 5-10 min. Make sure it isn't too salty.
You really should NOT use antibacterial soap, peroxide or alcohol!!!! These do more harm than good. Try to clean the inside of your belly button with a Q-Tip so dirt doesn't get trapped in there and cause infection. Never touch it unless you've washed your hands. You can't change the ring for at least three months, but it has to be a high-grade steel ring. you can't wear mall jewelry for at least ONE YEAR.
here is a pic of the soap I use:

If you got pierced at a studio, I can't believe they didn't give you cleaning products or after-care pamphlets.

first of all DO NOT use PEROXIDE or ALCOHOL this will closee the piercing and make healing horrible. best thing to use is antibacterial soap at least twice a day. if you have any ear care antiseptic this could work also. i jus got mine pierced a month ago and it never hurts and i use the ear car antiseptic and the soap, soo good luck.

Try salt water.
Use natural sea salt..like the big grain type, and mix it with WARM water, not hot, not cold.
It should taste like tears.
Too much salt is bad.
put in in a cup, and hold the cup over your belly button for 3 minutes or so.
Try to do this in the morning and evening.
Works great!

The guy who did my belly button told me the best thing to keep my ring clean and infection free was to use dial soap in the shower.
