   Seeing Bob hasn't replied, and there may be some urgency to your enquiry, I can categorically say that it's silk material that is the problem - that produced from silkworms. Organic fibres are destroyed by chlorine bleach. Synthetic silk screens should not be affected by chlorox. I've used it myself on synthetic screens.
  Cheers

    Bob
    Message received loud, clear and bold but...
    The screen material is not made of silk but a polymer of some type.
    Are you warning me not to use it to clean previous gelatin based photographic emulsion from 'silk screens' or 'silk' material per se?
    Thanks,
    PAUL

    I used Clorox bleach on Dacron fabric. Do not use this on silk fabric OR IT will DESTROY IT.
