My baby Guinea Pigs are a little stinky. I've heard you can bathe them with (human) baby wipes. I tried yesterday evening and they started squealing and acting scared.

You can certainly bathe guinea pigs, especially when they have longer hair...back there, and get pee on themselves! I would use a shallow flat container (like a tupperware cake box) or your kitchen or bathroom sink. Use a pitcher filled with warm water and a liquid soap made for small animals like bunnies from the pet store.
With the pig I had, she would sit on my left arm and hang on for dear life and with my right I'd soap her body and belly and butt and then rinse...make sure you have a helper! Be prepared for alot of squealing, but you know it doesn't hurt, just be calm and gentle with them. You will get wet! Then rub them with a towel and give them a bit of carrot...they'll get over it. The noise was always alittle nerve-racking for me, but you get thru it.

you DONT bathe giunea pigs. they clean themselves. Clean their CAGE. Get a better bedding. Carefresh is a good one. Keeps the smell down 3x as long. It is recycled. 99% dust free. Hypoallergenig. Much softer than pine shavings.
If you are using wood shavings make sure they are pine. They should not be living in wood shavings at all tho. It is bad for their delicate lungs'

carefresh costs more but you use less and it is healthier so it is worth it. And it is compressed in those bags. It expands quite a bit

I don't think you want to put it in the tub to stressful but maybe you could just wash it with a wet cloth and soap
Goodluck!
