It depends on what kind of hot glue you use. I am a pro designer for 8 years in theatre and oprea district...many dry clean only costumes. The hot glue sticks used for costuming dry softer and semi flexible and are VERY dry cleanable. These are the sticks that have a yellow tint to them, not the white or clear sticks.
