In this article, it is aimed to determine the effect of the antibacterial finishing process applied to bed linen fabrics, whichare widely used in the market, on some mechanical properties of the fabric. Antibacterial finishing process was appliedto the fabric produced for this purpose under operating conditions and wrinkle strength, tear strength and abrasionresistance levels were made on these fabrics. Measurements were made before and after antibacterial finishing. Theresulting results were evaluated among themselves and processed in SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences)21.0 program. Since the number of processed data is less than 50 according to greige fabric and antibacterial treatedfabric measurements, it has been tested with Shapiro-Wilk analysis. The homogeneity of the test variances of the datawas done with Levene homogeneity test. Tear strength, creasing angle and abrasion resistance test results are focusedon how scientifically meaningful the effects of process parameters and interactions on fabric properties are inaccordance with statistical analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that the results obtained from the tearstrength, wrinkle angle and abrasion resistance tests were statistically significant and as a result, the antibacterialprocess parameters negatively affect the wrinkle strength, tear strength of the cotton fabric; it was found to affect thewear resistance positively.
