Have you tried Borax? Soak them in warm water with the Borax overnight then wash them in Woolite.
Try a solution of lemon juice, salt, and water and let them soak.
I use Oxi-clean in warm water. Soak for a couple of hours. Then wash with your detergent, a scoop of powder Oxi-clean, and use vinegar in the rinse. It has even turned yellow items from bleach back to white. Try it you'll love it.
I have whitened items like silk scarves and doilies using baking soda and peroxide.
Soak it in Oxy-Clean and warm water, rinse it well, then set it in the sun to dry. The sun will help bleach it naturally.
I really like Biz. It really whitens everything quickly. It is sometimes hard to find so I buy it from Amazon
Try to use hydrogen peroxide if Oxi doesn't work. Can't beat good old sunshine.
Antique silk is ruined by bleach and laundry detergents. They also degrade in sunlight and air drying. Use silk laundry flakes and vinegar, then squeeze with towels while lying them flat.
