They don't. The best they can manage is a rub or scrape with a damp sponge or

a moist wipe, but nothing from which any water might squeeze out and escape.

The odor inside manned spacecraft is a topic that's seldom widely discussed.

The space station has a full body shower unit. When astronauts want to take a shower, they step into a cylindrical shower stall and close the door. They then get themselves wet and wash up just like you would on Earth. However, due to weightlessness, the water droplets and soap don't flow downwards into a drain, they float about. Astronauts use a suction device to get rid of the waste water. I do not think that the shuttle has this unit, but you can use a moist bath sponge to clean yourself in the shuttle if you want.
no they cant because the force of gravity will make the water float in mid-air.

They drink beverages that consist of mostly water, such as water, and they avoid

carbonated soda and alcoholic drinks. Open cups can't be used in free-fall, and

drinks have to be dispensed from plastic squeeze-bags.

Astronauts take water into space with them. The new International Space Station sanitary facility (fancy-speak for "toilet") is designed to recycle used water into fresh water again, just like the Earth itself does. If we plan to go to the Moon or Mars, our recycling efforts are going to have to be a LOT better than they are now!

They have little water tanks in their suits and a button to activate the water tank so that's how they drink water

Water does not stay in space they float around as small blobs so austonauts wash their face by collecting these water blobs and wetting paper using them.
