Default bathing hedgehogs?

hey all, i know somepeople bath there hedgehogs and i wondered how you go about this......its not been an issue up to now as they *seemed* to be pretty clean little critters. but all that pooey wheel running has left them with cacky slippers. whats the bets way to deal with this? seeing how much they pass in one night i imagine somebody else has been through the same thing!

i generally fill the sink with shallow tepid water and let them have a paddle in it, i use a toothbrush to gently scrub in between their spikes to get the poo off, then i wrap them in a little towel after n just let them dry, tis hard to dry a hedgehog you cant really, just let its underneath dry by restin on a towel

I always put a flannel in the bottom of the sink so they have something to grip on.
