Machine washing a 100 % cotton hand wash shirt...??

can i just machine washin it, insted of hand wash it, even tho the washin instructions say to hand wash it?Machine washing a 100 % cotton hand wash shirt...??
if the label says Hand washed , then hand wash it, the agitation of the machine may damage the fabric , but remember to always use cold water when washing 100% cotton and never put it in the drier . Hand wash only and hang to dry .Machine washing a 100 % cotton hand wash shirt...??
Only on the gentle cycle, cold water and dry on gentle cycle medium or low temp air. Hand washing might be due to some color bleed that will get on other clothes or the shirt has some foo-foo that can be damaged thrashing about in a washer.
I wouldnt. I had a tee that said handwash and i put in the washer and it is now at the dump. it might be okay on the delicate cycle. If its lacey has beads hand wash. its always best to follow the label.
i just put anything that says that in a lingerie bag, and wash them, you can get them at walmart
i do, nothing bad has happened.


if you don't want it to shrink then hang it to dry though.
