The objective of the Antimicrobial finish at first was to protect textiles from being affected by fungi. Uniforms, tents, defense textiles and technical textiles, such as, geo-textiles are imparted the antimicrobial property by finishing so that they may last longer. Then need for home textiles such as, bath mats, and curtains coverings were felt to come with antimicrobial finish in market. Our research plays part in demonstrating the wash durability test of the anti-microbial finish. These finishes are mostly used for deposable products like bandages and napkins and face coverings. Our research has diversified the use of these finishes in the casual wears and had provided results pointing the strong wash resistance of Anti-microbial finish up to 10 washes.
