English term or phrase: Do not wash in water
Hello everybody!
A friend of mine asked me to help him out with the translation of the above sentence. It's the washing instructions you find on labels attached to clothes.
Unfortunately this is not my linguistic combination.
Can you help me please?
Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Asker: Actually, I do not know. But I think so... Probably it's similar to "do not use water to clean it" which implies "dry clean". Thanks everybody (one favour, can you write your comments in English, please?) Thanks

Asker: Well, maybe there is another line in the same label saying "dry clean only"...
