Lip piercing healing process

I have a little bit of green gunk coming out of my labret piercing on my lip, how do I clean it out? I have tried mouthwash but I have to keep washing it for about 10 minutes till all the gunk comes out but it keeps coming back. what is the salt solution? does it work? what works best for getting rid of this infection & how many times a day to I need to clean it?

it may not actually be infected and its actually normal for that “gunk” to be comming out. it’ll probably do that for about a week after getting it done. I just used a cotton swab with antibacterial soap on the tip (hydrogen paroxide works too, but may hurt a little) and wiped the green stuff away. dont pick at it though it messes with it healing. you only need to use mouthwash after eating too.
