This was my basic method when I was bicycle touring in the desert, except that I would sometimes not have the water for the pour water over myself stage. I would sometimes do this while standing on a toilet in a gas station washroom.Get naked
Get your washrag wet and then add soap.
Soap up your dry body with the wet rag, you might have to rewet the washrag.
Rinse out the soapy rag and then use it to rinse of your body.
Then pour some water over your self.
Rinse out our rag and then use it to dry your body, this will get off the last bit of dirt and dead skin.
