You can put the uro in hot water and let it soak, if that is what you mean. You can't use soap or anything tho. When i soak my ur i put him in about 1 to 1 1/2 high hot water probably around 120 degrees, hot to our touch. They might drink a littlebut mostly the water will absorb through the skin. When i soak mine i only do it once every 4-6 monthes, and make sure the tail it totally dry. My guy loves to be blow dried afterwards it gets him really warm too! I also hold up his head a little out of the water so that he doesn't get any down his nostrils, that worries me a little.
Good luck!
