Yes. I wash in cold water with woollite at hand wash cycle for a very short period of time. My dress is shorter than it's linning after washed. My coworker also has a linen pants come out shrinked 3 inches and became shorter than the linning. I got her warning before I wash mine. I am trying to pull the dress make it longer than the linning before it is dry. I am waiting to see if it keep the length is kept after it's dry. I will never machine washed or buy 55% linen and 45% rayon blend clothing.

You should wash all linen at least once a week. This holds true for silk bedspreads as well.
I love to use tablecloths that are easy to clean! When I purchase a new tablecloth, I wash it before I use it. You want to choose a tablecloth that has a cotton blend. If you purchase one that is linen, or rayon, you will have to dry clean it. I love to use a table runner in place of a table cloth. It is less expensive, and usually has fewer stains to clean after the party.
Yes, have it dry cleaned.
