In general, pre-treating your fabric to be able to handle anything it's likely to run into is a good idea. All my fabrics, including silks (but excluding fine wools), get tossed into the washer and the dryer as soon as they get into my house. That way I never have to deal with surprise water spots or shrinkage and so on.

Get the entire thing wet and turn it into one big stain! Seriously.
