Vulva hygiene and cleaning

Question

Asked for Female, 27 Years

I generally use a clean wash cloth with plain water to clean the vulva including labia majora, clitoris etc. However, I feel afraid to clean the inner side of labia minora. I want to know is it okay to clean the inner sides of labia minora in the same way as mentioned above. If not then please suggest suitable method.
