Summary, etc. <p style="text-align: justify;">Antimicrobial compounds (essential oils) have been extracted from natural spices, such as oregano and cinnamon, using organic solvent (ethylene) by soxhlet apparatus. The above bioactive agents (5% &amp; 10 % owf separately for both agents) are applied separately on plain cotton and polyester/cotton woven fabrics using pad-dry-cure process. For fixation of the finishing agents, glutaraldehyde (8% owf) has been used as a cross-linking agent along with sodium hypophosphite (2% owf) as the catalyst. Evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of untreated and treated fabrics has been performed quantitatively by percentage reduction test against test organisms Gram-positive bacteria <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> and Gram-negative bacteria <em>Escherichia coli</em>. The results indicate that treated fabrics register &gt;90% antimicrobial activity against <em>S. aureus</em> and <em>E. coli</em> bacterial strains. After 10 washes, the efficacy of antimicrobial activity is reduced by 10-20% only. A small decrease in flexibility, breaking <br /> strength and elongation properties is observed for treated <br /> fabrics. However, treated fabrics show enhanced<strong> </strong>crease <br /> recovery. <strong></strong></p>
