What gerbils need- chinchilla sand
Gerbils, being dessert animals, do not require 'baths' to keep clean. They groom themselves.
However, in order to keep their fur from getting oily/messy, a sand bath will be needed!
You can just use chinchilla sand for this. Keep in mind though that there is a difference between chinchilla sand and chinchilla dust. The dust may cause respiratory issues, so try to find the sand instead.
Often times, only dust is sold in pet stores- you may need to order sand online.
