So.. what do you think people did before drycleaning existed? and most military garments were made of 100% wool fabric?
They washed them.. by hand .. in cool water.. and dried them in the air.. It won't hurt the uniform at all
Insignia and rank .. all patches should be removed prior to washing .. and sewn back on after the uniform dries, Not all patches ( particularly if they are replica ) are colourfast..
