Alice Cole: There's a review article by Jane Hutchins, "Regenerated
Cellulosics: Their Fabrication and Finishing before 1940" in the 1984
ICOM-CC Preprints (Copenhagen pages 84.9.19-21) that discusses various
rayons and has numerous references. You might find it a helpful place to
start.

I am treating a garment made of satin that has silk in the warp and a
weft of cupramonium rayon. The date of the object is 1938. I am looking
to spot clean areas of the object to remove water marks and tide lines.
Does anyone have previous experience of treating this mix of fibres, or
cupramonium rayon atall?
Many thanks,
Alice Cole
