Can algodon be washed in a machine at home and why does the tag say do not launder if it is cotton?

Algodon, which is Spanish for cotton, can typically be washed in a machine at home; however, the care tag may advise against laundering due to specific treatments or finishes applied to the fabric, which could be damaged in a wash. Additionally, if the item includes embellishments or specific care instructions, it may require hand washing or dry cleaning to maintain its quality. Always follow the care label to ensure the longevity of the fabric.
