Cellulase enzyme was extracted from pineapple peel substrate using  Aspergiluss niger.  Because enzymes are sustainable alternatives to harsh toxic chemicals used in the Textile Industries. Cotton fabrics were treated with cellulase at variable concentrations at a pH of 5.5 and 55°C. Changes in various properties of the treated fabrics like weight loss, lusture, soft touch and overall dyeing properties were investigated. The results obtained show that cellulase have successfully removed staple fibres from the fabrics and thus, yield a glabrous appearance and soft touch of the treated fabrics; furthermore, it was established that percentage dye uptake and fastness properties of the fabrics were greatly improved as confirmed by the FTIR spectral analysis and UV- visible spectrophotometric analysis of the absorbance maximum of the dye liquor before and after dying. Key Words : Cellulase, Aspergillus niger,  pre- treatment, cotton fabric and dye uptake.
