Abstract
An examination of samples of modern silk cleaned according to textile conservation specifications revealed a residue on the sample washed with the anionic surfactant, sodium lauryl sulfate. Analysis determined that the surfactant could reach 2.73% of the weight of the fabric. Comparisons of subsequent modern silk samples revealed such residue did not radically affect the working properties of the silk, but certain differences were noted.
