This sounds like a way to mask the critters' smell from each other.
Giving them each a bath would probably have the same effect.  Better,
I would guess, because you are removing some of the odor instead of just
masking it.
 
Introductions are best done on neutral ground, and reducing personal
odors can make the other party more at ease.
