Depends on what the fabric is. Also depends on the DYE in the fabric! It may be 100% cotton and dyed with something that will run or fade if you wash it, OR it could shrink up!
Go ahead and dry clean it. THEN air it out for a few days before you put it on the bed. It should be okay. Really.
IF you absolutely MUST wash it use a very mild soap like Woolite and cold water only. Hand wash it in the bath tub. Do not wring, twist, etc. and it will take forever to line dry. But realize it could still fade/have colors run/shrink/spot/ etc.
If it was expensive and/or you really like it you better dry clean it!
