Can I wash my coat that says Dry Clean only?

I have a coat that is 78% wool and 22% Nylon…it says dry clean only. I have taken it once to be dry cleaned, but to be honest, I dont think it cleaned it very much. My mum washed a chenille jumper of mine that was dry clean only, and it turned out fine. Can I wash my coat in the washing machine?

Nylon is fine to machine wash but the wool will shrink. I would only chance it on something not too valuable to me, like I’ve washed a few garage sale finds that wouldn’t be a great loss & they’ve mostly turned out fine. I’ve also saved dry cleaning bills on my dry cleanables by using the “Dryel” at the grocery store. You use it at home in your dryer and does a pretty good job. But read the back of the box first. It seems like there was some type of fabric that it won’t work on. Good luck!
