Polyherbal Drops for Antifungal Activity on Human Clothing
Fungal contamination of clothing is a common issue caused by moisture retention, poor ventilation, and organic residues, leading to fabric damage, unpleasant odors, and potential health risks. Conventional chemical antifungal treatments may be effective but often pose environmental and health concerns. This study explores the use of antifungal herbal drops as a natural and eco-friendly alternative for removing fungal infections from fabrics. Herbal extracts with proven antifungal properties, such as Lantana camara leaves, Cinnamon, Clove and Ginger are evaluated for their effectiveness against common fabric fungi. The study investigates their antifungal activity, application methods, and long-term effects on fabric integrity. Results indicate that herbal antifungal drops inhibit fungal growth making them a sustainable alternative to chemical treatments. This research highlights the potential of plant-based antifungal solutions in textile care, promoting a safer and more environmentally friendly approach to fungal decontamination.
