I have no idea on how to wash silk, but I am imagining it is by hand. I went on this site for you and it tells you how to clean it properly without damaging it
I hand wash all my expensive bras. I have a little tub in which i add my water and some wool light. I normally do this over the tub it can get messy. I just make sure they get a little soapy normally doing two at a time. Make sure you start with the lightest colors first and doing the darker colors in the end b/c they might release some color and you dont want to stain your lighter colors. Once I am done with all the bras and other delicate clothes i am washing I empty out that water add new wather and rinse my clothes of all the soap. You can add softener in this part if you wish but make sure to rinse your clothes again after this. hang your bras on hangers and let them airdry. I’ve tried those round plastic balls you can put your bra in and throw it in the washing machine but they still ended up messing up my bras.
I hand wash All of my bras. I just fill my bath sink with a bit of warm water and mild detergent(I have a baby and use Dreft). I just soak for a while and give them a rub. Give them a little squeeze and hang them in the shower. Don’t ring them out it can damage the wire. Oh, and watch the temp of the water when washing colors, go a little cooler for those. I envy you! I can’t remember the last time though I bought some pretty bras.
I use a Dryel Dry Cleaning kit. This comes with a bag that you can place them in to wash in your regular washer. It comes in handy for your bra’s and panties that are more expensive and also for dresses or other items of clothing that need to be hand washed or dry cleaned. The one I have also comes with a stain removal kit for sensitive clothing. They aren’t very expensive either.
Follow the washing/drying instructions on the garment. If you cannot read/understand them then contact the vendor. Keep your receipt in case you have a problem.
