vaginal cleaning is must

Keeping Your Vagina Healthy
There are some things that you can do to ensure that your vagina and reproductive tract stay healthy, and that your vaginal discharge remains normal.
Avoid Douching: Douching actually increases your risk of experiencing unhealthy changes in your vaginal discharge. This is because chemicals in douching products change the bacteria levels inside of the vagina and can move dangerous bacteria up into the uterus, causing an infection.
Wipe from Front to Back: Always wipe from front to back after using the washroom. This will keep bacteria from your rectum out of your vagina.
Yeast is a normal inhabitant of the intestinal tract; always wipe from front to back after a bowel movement to prevent transferring yeast to the vaginal area; care must be taken during sexual intercourse to prevent vaginal infections from occurring due to contamination with organisms from the bowel or rectum.
Don't Wear Tight Clothes: Avoid wearing tight pants or nylons. These will trap moisture around your vagina, allowing bacteria and yeast to multiply.
Wear Cotton Underwear: Cotton underwear is cooler and more absorbent that nylon underwear.
Use Panty Liners: Panty liners can help to absorb excess vaginal discharge. Avoid using tampons during pregnancy or when you aren't menstruating.
Monitor Your Discharge: Keep an eye on your vaginal discharge from day to day. If you notice any odd changes, or are experiencing any pain, vaginal itching, or other unusual symptoms, contact your health care provider.
