Today's scouring process is chemically based and highly alkaline. Due to the unspecific nature of chemical processes, not only the impurities but also the cellulose is attacked, leading to damage in strength properties. Furthermore, current processes cause environmental problems due to high COD, BOD and TDS content in the effluents. A wide range of studies have been carried out on bio-preparation of cotton in the preceding 10-12 years. This paper deals with application of probiotic scouring on cotton and analyzing the effectiveness of probiotic scouring over conventional scouring & testing the properties of pro-scoured cotton knitted substrates. It was found that that in probiotic scouring of cotton degradation of pectic substances is one of the most essential processes. Probiotic degradation of pectic accelerates the removal of waxy materials from the cotton primary wall, thus produces highly water absorptive cotton. Using probiotics, decreases the TS, TDS, COD, BOD thereby reducing both effluent load and preparation costs. 100% bio-degradable Scouring agent, sets new standards in pre-treatment for cotton significantly.

Textile fabrics (woven or knitted) are subjected to strain both lengthwise and widthwise during fabric manufacturing. This strain is released while washing the fabric under relaxed conditions, resulting in a reduction in length and/or width of the fabric which is called shrinkage. Apparel made of such fabrics suffers shrinkage after washing and go out of fit. In order to eliminate or minimize such undesirable alternation, the fabric needs to be stabilized dimensionally. Commercially cotton woven fabrics are given an anti-shrinkage finish branded as "Sanforized". This study focused on sanforization of 100% cotton twill fabric. The effects of three variables namely damping percentage, machine speed, overfeed percentage on shrinkage imparted in the finished fabrics were investigated. Shrinkage imparted to the fabrics was increased with increasing in the variables specially overfeed% and damping. The increase in machine speed imparted less shrinkage.

One of the issues of the program of monetary improvement of the Republic of Uzbekistan is to build the efficiency of great fiber and its usage on the world market. The creation of great crude cotton fiber relies upon the way that the creation procedure is sorted out based on specialized necessities. Specifically, during the time spent drying cotton in preparing plants, it is critical to decrease its dampness substance and capacity.

At times of COID- 19, it has become the need of the hour to ban the imports to India so the the employment should be encouraged, so it is very essential to encourage our ancient Handloom industry. Handloom area has become a significant worry for Indian material economy and by and large conservative comprehensive development for India. Regularly expanding significance of comprehensive development in Indian handloom area in legitimately influenced by numerous components, for example, singular development of sorted out and chaotic material enterprises, social and political impacting boundary and by even different legislative approaches particularly in material division. In this current work gives a precise audit on present situation of Indian handloom part.

Textiles on treating with Zinc Oxide nano particles of 30 nm and 90 nm size. To make weaved textures, cotton ring spun yarns made with fluctuating turn factors were chosen. Textiles were done with nano ZnO particles by Exhaust – dry – fix technique and the examples were assessed for hostile to microbial viability. Test outcomes show that all in all, hostile to microbial viability of tests increments with increment in yarn wind and lessening in ZnO molecule size.
