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 :)
