Dry Cleaning - do I have to?

My DD1 has a skirt that I call her carpet skirt which says it is dry clean only but to iron inside out.... It is made from 63% polyester, 21% cotton, 12% viscose, 2% acrylic and 2% polyamide.

By my reckoning I could hand wash it and put it on a gentle spin then hang to dry. It's not dirty but she has worn it a couple of times and it is now at the bottom of the washing basket (where it will stay for a while Xmas Grin).

Does anybody agree with me or should I just drop it down to the local dry cleaners?

I agree I would gentle wash it and gentle spin and hang up to dry

your dd will be devastated if it isn't ok.
