The study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of various medicinal herbs in improving the anti microbial activity of a cotton fabric. Work was done with collection of various herbs like Pomegranate rind, Turmeric, Aloe Vera and Neem. The experiment was conducted based on 2n experimental design by varying 3 processing conditions like temperature, concentration of citric acid as fixing agent and concentration of herbals. The combination of two herbal extracts was then studied by applying the mixture onto a well processed fabric in HTHP machine for an hour at various temperatures. The behavior of herbal finished fabrics were tested for properties like wicking behavior, crease recovery, bending length, rubbing fastness, air permeability and it was found that the comfort properties of cotton fabric has improved in a greater extent.
