Organza is a sheer and lightweight fabric, typically made from silk, rayon, or nylon. The fine weave of the fabric gives it a slightly cloudy appearance and makes it ideal for gowns, scarves, curtains, and other specialty items.

When painting your home, office, or other area, it’s possible for paint splatters to get onto nearby organza fabric. Luckily, cleaning paint stains from organza is not as difficult as it may seem. Here are some tips to help you clean paint stains from organza without damaging fabric.
