Launderable bactericidal and virucidal fabric finish

A method of preparing a launderable bactericidal and virucidal fabric for home application comprising:

• providing a first solution comprising a first and a second component at a liquor ratio of approximately 1:4 to 1:40 wherein the first component comprises a bactericidal and virucidal agent represented by formula (I):
• a first component having a bactericidal and virucidal agent represented by formula (I):
• wherein n is 7;
• each of R1, R2, and R3 is jointly or independently selected from H or one of the following groups:
• wherein at least one of R1, R2, and R3 is selected from Group (II), (III), (IV), (V), (VI) or (VII);
• wherein R4 is selected from CH3 or H;
• m is an integer from 2 to 10;
• p is an integer from 9 to 15;
• q is an integer from 2 to 10;
• and
• wherein the second component comprises:
• one or more crosslinkers;
• and/or
• one or more catalysts;
• dip-coating a fabric in the first solution;
• drying and/or curing the dip-coated fabric;
• providing a second solution comprising a third component at a liquor ratio of 1:4 to 1:40 wherein the third component is one or more transition metal salts;
• dip-coating the fabric in the second solution.
