Antibacterial soap is the best thing for them. Non-Scented! The other best thing is to soak the piercing in a sea-salt / warm water mix.
From what I understand, alcohol is not the best thing for cleaning out your piercings. It can take longer to heal this way because of how it dries you out. I've also heard from a local piercer here that the skin can raise up a little bit around your piercings if you use alcohol or other chemicals to clean them.
I'm not sure how true this is, but when I got my ears pierced last year, I just used antibacterial soap, and when I got my other nipple pierced this year, I used soap twice a day, and sea-salt soaks twice a week. No problems came up at all.
