Home dry cleaning kits can reduce odors and wrinkles, but they do not clean the same way a professional dry cleaner does.
Avoid washing structured jackets, silk, wool, rayon, beaded items, or anything expensive unless you are willing to take the risk.
If the garment matters, do not experiment on it.
