for going to the bathroom, it's a low powered vacuum that literally pulls the waste away from the astronaut. For washing themselves, it's pretty much using damp cloths.
After using the washroom in space, astronauts follow a series of steps to ensure hygiene and cleanliness. They use a vacuum toilet that employs suction to manage waste, which is then stored in a sealed container. After finishing, astronauts clean their hands with sanitizing wipes, and the toilet is maintained for the next use. Waste is eventually disposed of by burning up in the atmosphere or stored for later disposal.
Astronauts have these special toilets, where the astronaut has to push a button in order of a vacuum to be turned on, and suck up their waste.
