The chemicals used in Dry Cleaning today are perfectly safe for a wool kilt. They are also perfectly environmentally safe.
I always have my kilts dry cleaned. Some are over 20 years old and are cleaned three or four time a year because I wear a kilt every day.
The wool has not been effected in any way. The leather straps are also not effected. They are still soft and supple.
All I ever caution anyone about having a kilt cleaned is to warn the cleaner, in big red letters on the cleaning form, "Do Not Press". Just clean it in the machine and hang it up. All of my kilts are done his way and I have never had a single problem.

I wear the kilt because: Swish + Swagger = Swoon.
