Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to antimicrobial textile care, specifically focusing on plant-based sachets designed to disinfect and refresh clothing. These sachets, composed of natural antibacterial and antifungal agents like Amla (Emblica officinalis), jasmine, and other botanicals, offer an environmentally friendly alternative for combating microbial growth and preserving fabric freshness.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Textile and clothing items often face microbial contamination due to high humidity and poor ventilation, leading to unpleasant odors, stains, and fabric degradation. Traditional fragrance sachets in the market primarily focus on odor control without addressing microbial growth, and many contain synthetic ingredients that may cause allergies or environmental harm. Furthermore, the single-use nature of many conventional sachets contributes to environmental pollution. To address these gaps, this invention provides a plant-based, biodegradable sachet that not only freshens but also disinfects clothing. Utilizing natural ingredients like Amla, jasmine, and other botanicals, these sachets offer broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. The invention thus provides an eco-friendly, multifunctional solution tailored to maintain textile hygiene and longevity in humid climates.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts, in a simplified format, that are further described in the detailed description of the invention.
This summary is neither intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the invention and nor is it intended for determining the scope of the invention.

The Plant-Based Antibacterial and Antifungal Clothes Disinfectant and Freshener Sachets are designed to combine natural antimicrobial protection with a refreshing fragrance, preserving clothing hygiene in storage environments prone to humidity. The key ingredients include Amla (Emblica officinalis), known for its powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties, jasmine (Jasminum officinale) for its aromatic profile, and additional botanicals like lavender, rose, and sandalwood, each offering unique antimicrobial and olfactory benefits.
The preparation begins with sourcing high-quality Amla and botanical ingredients, which undergo extraction processes to preserve their bioactive compounds. Amla is processed to obtain tannins, flavonoids, and polyphenols, compounds known to inhibit the growth of bacteria like Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Jasmine and other fragrance botanicals are extracted to retain their aromatic oils, which contribute both to the sachet's fragrance and to its antimicrobial effectiveness. The ingredients are then blended with ethyl alcohol, carbitol, and glycerol, which act as carriers and solvents to enhance the stability of the bioactive compounds.
Once the formulation is prepared, it is poured into biodegradable sachets, which are sealed and packaged in eco-friendly outer containers. These sachets are designed for easy placement in drawers, closets, or storage containers, releasing their antimicrobial and aromatic properties over time. The blend of Amla and fragrance botanicals ensures sustained antimicrobial activity, reducing the risk of microbial growth on stored textiles while providing a pleasant, lasting fragrance. Quality control measures, including pH and microbial tests, are conducted to ensure safety and effectiveness. This invention provides an innovative approach to textile care, emphasizing sustainability and natural protection for enhanced clothing preservation.
, Claims:1. A plant-based sachet formulation for clothing care, comprising bioactive extracts of Amla, jasmine, and additional botanicals for antimicrobial and aromatic benefits.
2. The formulation as claimed in Claim 1, wherein Amla extract provides antibacterial and antifungal protection, preventing microbial growth on stored textiles.
3. The formulation as claimed in Claim 1, wherein jasmine and additional botanicals contribute both fragrance and antimicrobial effects, enhancing user experience and textile hygiene.
4. The formulation as claimed in Claim 1, wherein biodegradable materials are used for sachet packaging, offering an environmentally friendly solution.
5. A method for preparing plant-based antimicrobial sachets as claimed in Claim 1, involving extraction, blending, and biodegradable packaging for enhanced sustainability.
