This does the job for me. Others use baby wipes or a washcloth for a quick freshen-up. Note that "riding clothes" doesn't necessarily mean Spandex kit, just different clothes than you'll be wearing the rest of the day.
This works for me too. I have a shower at work but rarely use it. I do typically ride in spandex/polyester bike stuff, but I think the main thing is to avoid cotton and keep your bike clothes clean.
