Ed you can hwe these with care, check it is defo silk and not composite.
Its hard to give exact advice with out seeing it, can you gt pic's as that may help.

Ed, check label, if none do a burn test,then a bleed test. I would hwe with low psi and a low to med ph cleaner, extract with fresh water rinse and speed dry, after soft pre vaccing.

personally I would never steam clean silk, even lightly. Too frightened of it "clumping" as I call it.  I've used dri pro from prochem in the past but with limited results. Walk away mate.
