In house extraction of floral base Nano Particle (Al-NPS) was applied on cotton fabric by using padding technique. Zone of inhibition was used to identify the antibacterial property. In this present study, an endeavor was made to finish cotton textiles with herbal based aluminum nanoparticles with different ratios to impart the antimicrobial finishes. Aluminum Nanoparticle synthesized with plant source as core material and variation of concentration of leaf extracts with reducing agents has produced different ratios. The Al-Nps treatment with different percentage (4% & 5%) of herbal (Neem & Guava) base precursor was with different ratio 1:1, 2:1, 5:1 & 10:1 amplifying the antimicrobial & antifungal properties of the treated fabric. Pad dry curing was carried at 140°C for 3 mins. After that evaluated the antibacterial property, wash fastness property, geometrical parameters of the specimen with treated nanoparticles and untreated fabric by using qualitative method AATCC-147, 2004 for the growth of inhibition and AATCC-30, 2004 for antifungal activity. Antibacterial action was found to zero in knitted untreated fabric.
