If you do not dry clean, leave the air for a few days before handing over to use storage o. Search the yellow pages for those who specialize in blankets and / or silk wedding dresses. Make sure they have the right machine can handle the size quilt you give them. Ask them if they have never cleaned a silk quilt first, and if you have, how they react silk. Attention to insist immediately that all cleaners are fine. It will not be cheap, but worth it! See also: Silk Comforter Care
