HNW - cleaning silk embroidery

[Connie Carroll]

I've been reading on several needlework newsgroup that in order to 
clean silk embroidery you have to dry clean it.

This is a form I want t try on clothing but I can not tolerate dry 
cleaning fumes. Surly this is another way. How on earth did they 
clean clothing with silk threads in them during  the 1600s and on 
back?

Please help.
