Batik coloring using natural dyes is appreciated because it is environmentally friendly. Banana hump is one of the natural ingredients that can be used as an alternative to be used as batik dye. The purpose of this study was to determine the color fastness to washing and the color fastness to rubbing on batik cloth dyed using dyes from banana hump. The color fastness test is carried out through laboratory tests by observing changes in the original color of the test sample, using a gray scale standard to assess color stains on white fabrics. The results of the color fastness test against washing showed that quicklime had good criteria when compared to the use of Tunjung mordant and lime mordant. The three mordant have good criteria in testing the color fastness to rubbing with an average value of 4 on the use of quicklime mordant, while for Tunjung mordant and lime have an average value of 3.5. © 2023 Author(s).
