Garment makers generally specific dry cleaning to reduce the risk of shrinkage; not because it cleans any better or is less destructive to clothing. And, there's nothing actually "dry" about dry cleaning.

One can read about the dry cleaning techniques used here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_cleaning

Any good front loading washer, used with a high quality enzyme detergent and oxygen bleach, will generally do just as good a job as a dry cleaner with minimal damage to clothing - Top loaders, with their excessive agitation and water usage, and chlorine bleach are really destructive to fabrics. Also, air (i.e line) drying of garments is far less destructive than machine drying.
