For the current study microwave rays as an eco-friendly extraction tool has been used to explore the natural coloring potency of Arjun bark for cotton dyeing. Arjun bark powder was exposed to microwave irradiation for up-to 5 min and was used for extraction of colorant in different media. It has been found that 50 mL of acidified methanol-solubilized extract obtained from 5 min microwave-treated powder has given excellent results when employed onto MW treated cotton at 55°C for 75 min, salt of Fe as chemical mordant and extracts of acacia and turmeric as bio-mordants employed at optimum condition has shown good to the excellent fastness ratings at grey scales.
