You have already answered your own question. The tag says "DRY CLEAN ONLY". Take it back if your so upset about it, they will refund you.
I added the following after reading some of the brilliant answers you received. Cars that use gas have "use gas only" on the cap, so should ya put disel in it? Medicine bottles have the "warning keep away from children", but mabey it’s just a way to protect themselves. Houshold products carry a label that says not to mix with other products. Lets just mix this bleach with ammonia and see what happens. Hmm wonder if they really know what there talking about. There is a reason they put things on labels, and it’s not to protect themselves. It’s to help you. So once again I say, "Do what the label says"; otherewise it’s your own fault if you don’t and it ends up ruined.

Most men’s shirts are polyester cotton and can be machine washed safely at 40 or 50, so you should be fine washing your duvet cover.

You can wash it…it’s poly-blend. Polyester is not biodegradable so a little water and laundry soap isn’t going to hurt it. If it had decorations or embroidery on it then it may get damaged though, but otherwise it will be fine.

I machine wash things that say dry clean only all the time and nothing bad has ever happened to anything (except cashmere and wool).

Well a lot of t-shirts/clothing are poly-cotton blend and they are machine washable – as far as I know they are both pretty sturdy fabrics. But if it says dry clean only there may be a reason. Is it just a cover or is it stuffed like a comforter? Are there any parts of it that AREN’T poly/cotton? If it were me I would probably risk machine washing it on cold/delicate – or you can just get one of those Dryel sheets to "dry-clean" it in your dryer.

If it isn’t too terribly stained you might try Dry Cleaners Secret or something like that. It’s a cloth that you dab on stains (if there are any) and then toss it and the item in the dryer for 20 minutes. I use it on my micro-suede duvet cover every couple of weeks to refresh it, then dry clean every so often.

a poly cotton blend should be able to be washed! generally one of the main reasons to dry clean is to maintain a shape and style. i have dress jackets & trousers that i’ve tossed into the wash once i thought they were hopeless with strains that the dry cleaner missed so….i tossed them in the washer. while they weren’t as crisp they were clean and not destroyed so…. it’s a chance you will have to take.

I’ve never heard of a cotton-poly blend you couldn’t wash. Wash shirts like that all the time. Probably they’re just protecting themselves if something were to happen, then they can blame you.
