You could wash your hamsters but not in your hot tub or shower, cause that could be really dangerous for them. If you really think you should wash them then you could use a TINY bit of baby shampoo, and you would need to wash them in warm water. I would really recommend not to wash them because they get really stressed and COULD die. If you thought about it and really want to try it, use warm water, baby shampoo, and when you are finish you need to wrap them up quickly and carefully in a towel or sweater or you could just put them in a sock until they dry up... Some hamsters really enjoy playing in socks :)

Don't use any soap. Just clean the cage with water and cage cleaning fluid. The cage cleaning fluid can be bought at most pet stores. The smell of the soap may be to strong for the hamster and harm it.

If it is dirty, it is okay to clean it with a bit of dish soap. A bit of vinegar will work as well. Just be sure to rinse it out very well either way.

What is the temperature of the water to wash a hamster?

Hamsters shouldn't be washed under water unless of an emergency. If you have a dwarf hamster, it might like a dust bath to freshen its fur. Otherwise, only wash hamster if it absolutely needs to be washed. (For Example: gum stuck in its fur)If you must wash the hamster, wash it in warm water and dry it immediately with a hand towel. It can easily die from hypothermia if it is wet.
