It's important to note that synthetic wigs last longer the less you wash them. However, your wig is going to get dirty eventually. Before washing, gently remove all tangles with a wig comb or your fingers working your way up from tip to root. Don't rush through, or you could rip out hair fibers.
Add a small amount (around a tablespoon) of mild shampoo to cool water. Using hot water or harsh shampoos can leave the wig feeling stripped.
Soak the wig for roughly 5 minutes, then rinse the shampoo out thoroughly. You shouldn't have to rub the wig dry. That will damage the fibers.
