Keep silk fabric away from clorox or bleach. Or vinegar.
It eats holes in it quicker than you can say scat!

Remember it is a fiber made of a protein, not cellulose.
And any kind of acid can damage it.

That said, it is washable, lusterous and beautiful.
The quilt I never forgot looking at was made entirely of silk in a common geometric pattern!
