I don't clean my belly button as often as I really should because I feel just as clean with a shower or when I soak in a bath and the belly button is emerged in bath water anyway.

But it's recommended to clean your belly button at least once per week to remove any dirt, fungus etc that could be hidden in the belly button.

You can use a cotton swab dipped in warm, soapy water or rubbing alcohol to clean your belly button out at least once a week.

You can clean your belly button more often than that if you want too but once per week or even once per month is enough unless you get your belly button more dirty.

There can still be some germs and sweat in your belly button that you might not get out of the belly button when showering or bathing because most people do not pay any attention to the cleaning of their belly button.
