USB what? If you mean just the cable, you should be able to clean it with water. The soap would leave a reside that might attract dirt and mess up the cable, It would not dry it with a hair dryer. Just lay it out and let it dry on its own (couple hours). As a USB cable is nothing but some wires inside a plastic covering, it should be fine.
If you are talking about the device the USB cable attaches to, that is going to vary based on the device. But usually the device is something with electronic components in it, and they should not be gotten wet.

I'll be honest they are so cheap it is not worth the effort.
Also if you did not do a good job of it you risk damaging the device you plug it into.
EDIT: If the contacts in the plug ends are not clean and dry, the very least you will have an unreliable lead at the worst a damaged cellphone. so make sure it is clean and dry.
Edit:
Push Tissues gentle into the plug ends to help drying. Do not force or use metal object could damage contacts, something like cotton ear buds will do.
Good Luck :-)
