Towels in home textile products are textile surfaces that are frequently used in daily life. Towel products are generally used to remove moisture and water from the body. In this context, the main performance feature expected from terry fabric due to the contact of the product with the skin is softness, fast drying and antibacterial properties. Due to the moisture on the towel fabrics, it provides a suitable environment for bacterial growth. For this reason, studies are carried out on the antibacterial properties of the towel. In this study, it is aimed to conduct research activities within the scope of developing antibacterial terry fabric. For this purpose, different terry fabric productions were made using silver yarn, bamboo and antibacterial chemicals, and their antibacterial properties were examined. In this context, the antibacterial chemical finishing process, known as the classical method, was applied to the towels, which were first woven from 100% cotton yarn. In addition, towel fabrics were produced by using 70% bamboo-30% cotton yarn and 92% cotton-8% silver yarn. Antibacterial activities of the obtained fabric samples against S.aureus and K. pneumonie bacteria according to AATCC 100 standard were examined. According to the obtained test results, the antibacterial activity level of bamboo blended towels close to the antibacterial activity level obtained with chemical finishing was observed in the trials.
