Abstract: The bacteria-resist properties of various natural medicinal products, like clove oil, neem oil, tulsi oil and karanja oil, have been studied. Among these products, the clove and neem oils show good anti-bacterial property ; clove oil shows excellent anti-bacterial property on Cotton fabric. The wash fastness of finished cotton fabric can be improved by using KVSI (Dimethylol di hydroxyethylene urea based in-built catalyst) as cross-linking agent. The effect of anti-bacterial finish on other functional fabric properties has also been studied and it is observed that 1% clove oil + KVSI treatment gives the optimum results.
