Probably the best way to wash a softshell like this would be using Nikwax Tech Wash: http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Nikwax-Tech-Wash/NIK0018M.html then hanging the coat to dry. If it seems to be losing its water resistance, either wash with Nikwax Softshell Proof Wash In http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Nikwax-Softshell-Proof-Wash-In/NIK0024M.html or wash, hang to dry, then treat with Nikwax Softshell Proof Spray-On http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Nikwax-Softshell-Proof-Spray-On/NIK0043M.html
