Recently many concerns have been raised regarding antibacterial textile production, due to dermal irritation like allergy, atopy and infection. In theory the dye materials used in traditional Batik fabrics is supposed to contain antibacterial substances. In this paper it has reported the antibacterial test for the cotton traditional Batik fabric dyed with natural dyeing. As an alternative proposal, it has an experiment on the antibacterial test of batik fabric treated with Ag nano colloid solution. Furthermore, through the 20 washing tests, the effect of antibiosis of Batik fabrics has been analyzed. The results obtained suggest that it’s possible to develop healthy, safe, and diverse Batik production for the Batik business.
