I'd dry clean it. Rayon sometimes is not colorfast to washing. If the tag says dry clean, then dryclean.
Most of the time the tag says "dry clean" because the manufacturer doesn't know how to clean it, and dry cleaning is "safe". They are required by law to put care tags on the garments, but for many it is too much cost and effort to research the best method for a particular fabric or a line of clothing. So it says "dry clean" and they are covered.
It's probably ok to hand wash it in cool water with a mild soap. If you are concerned about colorfastness, test swab it with a damp q-tip or cotton ball. Dry it in a rolled up towel, and press it on a very low iron setting.
