To provide a method of laundering fabric for reducing an amount of anti-microbial agents washed away during a laundering process and minimizing release thereof into an environment, but without significantly compromising an overall anti-microbial effect achieved by the laundering process.SOLUTION: A method employs laundry washing liquor containing a relatively low through-the-wash (TTW) dosage of a diphenyl ether anti-microbial agent. The relatively low TTW ranges from about 0.25 to about 1 ppm, but it exhibits an antimicrobial effect that is comparable with a higher TTW dosage. An anti-microbial laundry detergent compositions comprises the anti-microbial agent in an amount sufficient for delivering a TTW dosage of the diphenyl ether anti-microbial agent ranging from about 0.25 to about 1 ppm in the laundry washing liquor.SELECTED DRAWING: None【課題】洗浄過程で得られる全体的な抗菌効果を大幅に損なわずに、洗浄過程で洗い流される抗菌剤の量を低減し、環境へのその放出を最小限にする布地の洗濯方法を提供する。【解決手段】比較的少ないスルーザウォッシュ（ＴＴＷ）用量のジフェニルエーテル抗菌剤を含有する洗濯洗浄液を用いる。比較的少ないＴＴＷは、約０．２５～約１ｐｐｍの範囲であるが、より高いＴＴＷ用量に匹敵する抗菌効果を呈する。抗菌性洗濯洗剤組成物は、洗濯洗浄液中に、約０．２５～約１ｐｐｍのＴＴＷ用量のジフェニルエーテル抗菌剤を送達するのに十分な量の前記抗菌剤を含む。【選択図】なし
