If the material isn't silk or something totally fragile and stained by water, yes, you can wash it in the machine. But first purchase what is called a lingerie bag and put the item in that. An example of the type of bag I am describing is at the URL below. Of course, you would use the cold/cold/gentle cycle. And first check that the material is not stained by water. Remove as soon as the washer's cycle is complete (I use the oven timer for this so I won't forget) and hang to dry.
Good luck.

I do all the time and no trouble. I do put some things in a mesh bag first so there is no chance of them getting caught on the agitator.
