I've got a new shirt that I just love, and it needs a washing. The tag says "Dry clean only." It has a big rhinestone buckle in the middle of it that can't be easily removed. I tried handwashing at home, keeping the buckle out of the water, but the dye bled out and I'm afraid that another water-washing would result in uneven coloring. So, I brought it to get it dry cleaned. Only problem: the dry cleaner wanted me to sign a release that they weren't responsible for any damage to the rhinestones or any dye discoloration (I didn't tell them the dye bleed--just part of the rhinestone waiver). I said, since the whole point of having it dry cleaned was to protect the rhinestones and dye, what was the point? So, I just brought it back home and figured there's got to be some way to do it myself (at least if it gets ruined, it's my fault, and not some careless dry cleaner hiding behind paperwork).

Is there any crafty way to "dry clean" it on my own? It's just a poly-cotton fabric. It's the dye and rhinestones that concern me.
