I told my mom it's dry clean only but she thinks she might be able to hand wash it. I don't want it ruined.I think I might buy the home dry cleaning kits and do it myself.How do you make someone understand it'll ruin the material if you even hand wash dry clean only materials? I know even delicate/ hand wash only clothes I have been ruined by her throwing them into the washing machine.

It really depends on the fabric. Manufacturers put the absolute safest way to clean a material. Do a search on the fabric to see about cleaning restrictions/recommendations.
It's the agitation of the machine more than the water that damages delicate fabrics in a washing machine.

Dry cleaning means no water is involved so I would mention that to her. Good Luck

You might also want to point out that a blanket is very hard to wring out because of the size and that it will take forever to dry and wringing out the item may also damage it.

Usually when something is dry clean only it is because it will shrink or the colour isnt colourfast in water.
