Well, I used to give my rats baths. I actually put them in the sink with about an inch of warm water and either baby shampoo or cat shampoo, both of which are very gentle. Just rinse thoroughly.
Or, you could try using a damp washcloth and then drying with a towel. Only do this if you are certain you won't get bit!

I've heard that it's a really bad thing to do, even though I had given one of mine quite a few baths. They're originally desert animals, so they're not really waterproofed. Petstores sell moist wipes to clean your hamster with if it's stinky. Otherwise, you can buy bath dust (like what they sell for chinchillas), which is quite funny to watch them roll around in. .

No it still can get them sick and you may hurt them drying it. They should be clean if you througly clean its cage every day throughy. Hamsters clean themselves all the time. If you take proper care he shouldnt need one.

They are desert creatures so they are not as enthused about hamster baths as you are.
