And I wash woollen jumpers by hand in the kitchen sink in warm water with shampoo or with washing up liquid. Then I rinse them, squeeze out the excess water, roll them up in a towel and air dry.
I wash bed pillows in the washer too. They're better off dried in a dryer though, I think. They can take a long time to dry otherwise.

Companies put dry clean only on tags so that if u wash it they are not liable.
IF IT IS 100% COTTON U CAN ABUSE IT.
OTHERWISE GENTLY DOES IT,
