Answer:

The combination of materials are responsible for your problem. But still you can clean up your whole coat by a trick, you can wipe your coat gently dry it up
A spot clean only label means that you can only clean this item by hand. It can not withstand normal dry cleaning or wet cleaning methods. It is important when wearing that you are particularly careful not to get the dress heavily soiled or spotted. Spot cleaning (what we refer to as hand cleaning) involves removing each spot or stain one at a time with the proper cleaning agents to assure that no damage is caused to the beaded finish. Then the underarms and lining is wiped down. Finally, the dress is hand pressed. We will be glad to discuss the options you have with these high end garments when you bring them in so you can be well informed of what we are doing, as well as what to expect as a finished product.
Hand wash in cool water, if that does not clean it try cold water in a washing machine on the lowest cycle. Only leave it in for 5 minutes to see what's happening with it. Take it out and take a look, it might need a few minutes more or it might be OK. Good Luck
