Chantilly lace is a lace fabric made of cotton and/or silk threads. While delicate and beautiful, it can also be all too easy to get paint stains on it. You don't have to throw fabric away though - just follow these steps to clean up the stain and restore your Chantilly lace.

The first step in cleaning paint off of Chantilly lace is to take a piece of absorbent cloth, such as an old t-shirt or towel, and blot up as much of the paint as you can. You want to be careful not to rub or scrub your fabric while you're doing this, as that could tear lace.
After blotting up what you can, you can make a homemade solution to help remove the remaining paint from your Chantilly lace. Simply mix together one tablespoon of liquid dish soap with two cups of warm water. Then, take a soft bristled brush and use it to gently scrub the fabric with the soapy mixture, being careful not to rub too harshly.
Once you've scrubbed the stained area with your homemade solution, rinse the fabric with cool water to remove any of the soap residue. After it's been rinsed, take a dry towel and gently press down on the fabric to soak up any excess moisture.
Finally, lay the fabric flat on a clean towel and allow it to air dry. Once it has finished drying, your Chantilly lace should be free from paint stains and looking like new again!
