Looking in one of my many reference books I found the following for you... Satin is aspecial silk fabric as are - crepe, chiffon, organza, voile, georgette, & taffeta to name a few. Most care labels recommend dry cleaning only because some silk dyes will dissolve in water, causin "bleeding" and color transfer. Some unlined silk items can be hand-washed in lukewarm water using dishwashing liquid or other mild soap, or machine washed using a gentle cycle. If the care label recommends hand washing, test for colorfastness by washing a small, inconspicuous area first. Knead the item gently in clear water to rinse, hang and let air dry. Do not try to spot-clean stains, which also can weaken the fabric and cause permanent marks. NEVER use bleach on satin.
