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.
Fairy liquid if put down neat can stain if left in too long.

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.
