I had always heard that you should wash silk in shampoo, as the fiber is similar in quality to hair!

Edit: Also found this online:
https://texeresilk.com//main/cms/sil...eaning_washing
which mentions that dupioni silk changes texture and sheen when washed.
Further down in the second link there is mention of how to get wrinkles out of silk. Do try to hang the material in the bathroom and run the hot shower. The page mentions that humidity helps to get wrinkles out.
