Are you implying that you dry-clean your dress shirts?
Most dress shirts are some sort of cotton blend and when you drop them off at the dry cleaners they are "laundered" not "dry cleaned". In Calgary, the rate for laundering a mens dress shirt and returning it on a hanger is around $4. Dry cleaning is actually pretty harsh on fabrics and having shirt dry-cleaned is typically over $10 depending on the fabric. You can definitely be more gentle on your dress shirts by washing them at home rather than having them go through an industrial wash and press(which kills buttons).
