Natural antimicrobial compounds play a vital role in textile finishing processes. The proliferation of synthetic antimicrobial agents introduces environmental and consumer safety concerns. Given these potential hazards associated with synthetic agents, the utilization of natural antimicrobial agents is gaining traction, as they tend to have fewer adverse effects on users and are more environmentally sustainable. Numerous natural antimicrobial compounds, sourced from plants such as neem, basil, turmeric, aloe vera, and clove oil, have been developed, showcasing inherent antimicrobial properties. This review article highlights the importance of incorporating bioactive components in the creation of antibacterial textile fabrics.
