It's easiest if you bathe it in a sink rather than a tub, and holding it carefully in your hand, pour lukewarm - not hot - water over it's back, making sure not to pour water over it's head. Soap is unnecessary. Gently pat dry.

Make sure your rat is comfortable in the water. If he is fill the sink about halfway with warm water. Put a towel next to the sink, and shampoo him.
