Consumers have become more aware of hygiene and potentially harmful effects of microbes, which in turn have increased the demand of antimicrobial textiles. Considering the significance of antimicrobial textiles, the Guava leaves extract treatment was prepared and applied on cotton fabric. To find out the efficiency of Guava leaves extract treatment wash durability of treated and washed samples were compared. Extraction of Guava leaves was conducted by cold aqueous maceration and was applied on cotton woven fabric by exhaust method in 5g/l concentration. There was continuous decrease in the antibacterial activity with an increase in incubation period after washing but even then the antibacterial treatment was actively retained in washed samples even on 2 8th day.

Abstract


Consumers have become more aware of hygiene and potentially harmful effects of microbes, which in turn have increased the demand of antimicrobial textiles. Considering the significance of antimicrobial textiles, the Guava leaves extract treatment was prepared and applied on cotton fabric. To find out the efficiency of Guava leaves extract treatment wash durability of treated and washed samples were compared. Extraction of Guava leaves was conducted by cold aqueous maceration and was applied on cotton woven fabric by exhaust method in 5g/l concentration. There was continuous decrease in the antibacterial activity with an increase in incubation period after washing but even then the antibacterial treatment was actively retained in washed samples even on 2 8th day.
