Abstract: The study focused on the development of bacteria resistant khadi cotton fabric by treating it with clove essential oil. In this study an attempt has been made to produce eco-friendly khadi cotton fabric which is bacteria resistant and safe for human use. Herbal extracts were applied to grey khadi cotton fabric in three concentrations (1 %, 3 % & 5 %). The samples were tested for physical properties such as crease recovery, bending length, breaking strength and tearing strength of treated and untreated khadi cotton fabric.

Keywords: Eco-friendly, Essential Clove oil, Crease Recovery, Bending Length
