I don't know what a getup is, but if it's any kind of waterproof clothing, do not, under ANY circumstance, take it to the dry cleaners. The chemicals used will ruin the waterproof coating. Check the label/ask your retailer.

NIKWAX Tech Wash, won't ruin any gore or gore type fabrics, plus they also have great waterproofing add ins. Trust me it's worth it

for my jacket, they recommend sticking it in the dryer at low heat to bring the coating back up to the surface.
