I used to* remove my jewelry before showering and set it on a counter for separate cleaning - don't want to lose anything down the drain! I'd wash my face with a washcloth lathered with zest (regular soap) and would wash my ears too, including the lobes. This doesn't really work with new piercings as you don't want to remove the jewelry. Aside, you don't want to scrub your ears raw. I would sandwich my lobe between a fold in the washcloth and use a gentle circular motion - both cleaning and massaging my lobes at once!
After showering, I'd put the plug in the sink's drainage hole, get some antibacterial soap in the palm of my hands, and then, holding the jewelry between my hands, wash. By holding, I'd put my hands together in the "prayer" position and rub both hands around. Basically, just trying to get them clean without harsh scrubbing. Then I'd rinse, making sure nothing fell out of my hands. O-rings would be washed separately in the same manner.
I have heard that organic jewelry (wood and stone mainly) are more porous and are apt to absorb the natural oils/sebum better, therefore naturally alleviating the funk build-up. Such organic jewelry follows a different set of care instructions - usually not to submerge stone and to oil wood every so often.
*Right now, I've removed my jewelry and have closed earlobe piercings.
