To Study the Effect of Clove Oil on Physical Properties of Khadi Cotton

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.
