    I have always used "Woolite" in cool water to clean any pearls.  
    Soft face cloth or at the most a very very soft toothbrush in the
    hole area.    The Woolite also cleans the silk.  Lay flat and wrap
    with a towel - similar to the process used to wash a sweater.  Pat
    moisture off and then unroll and Air Dry flat.   In the last 10 years
    I have only had to re-string one set of pearls after cleaning them.
