Hamster cages should be cleaned by removing all bedding, toys, etc. Rinse out the water bottle and let it dry out. Once everything is out of the cage, take a damp cloth and wash the floor and sides of the cage. While you are cleaning the cage, you can put your hamster in the sink or another place that they cant get out of with your back turned.

You need to clean out the cage once a week. You should not need to bathe your hamster (although I do once every few months). NEVER put anything in your hamster's anus - they poop it all out.
