An Australian woman has revealed how she cleaned her wedding dress at home and restored it to its original condition.

Writing on Facebook, the woman cleaned the gown three times in her bathtub and used Napisan Oxi Action Crystal White stain remover and Sard Wonder Soap.

She first received the recommendation online after asking the Facebook group Mums Who Clean how she should clean the dress without going to the dry cleaners.

'So any of you ladies who commented on my previous post about cleaning my wedding dress I finally got the courage to do it today! I soaked it three times in White Vanish and Sard Wonder Soap!' the woman wrote online.

To achieve the pristine white result, the woman washed the gown in hot water and left it to soak for 11 hours.

'I changed out the water once it went cold - [it] was around three hours or so each time,' she explained.

She then hung up the gown and left it to dry naturally but without exposing it to sunlight.
