Just kidding,... sounds to me like maybe you should just try more preventative measures rather than solving the problem. Like change her bedding or newspapers more frequently. Have a cage big enough that she can avoid the soiled area until you can get to it. But to answer your question,... get a large towel and wet one end with warm water and a little bit of antibacterial dish soap. Rub her down real good with the wet soapy end and then use the other end to dry her.
