Abstract

This basic research is to obtain data on the strength of nanosilver as an antimicrobial material in floor cleaning liquid products. This is very necessary for the creation of innovative floor cleaning liquid formulas that are more environmentally friendly and have anti-virus activity. Floor cleaners that already exist on the market generally have limited antimicrobial activity, namely anti-bacterial and anti-fungal only. The Covid 19 case has triggered research into the discovery of antimicrobials that have antiviral activity and their application in daily products that are used continuously. Antimicrobials up to nano silver antivirals are environmentally friendly and do not leave chemical residues in the environment and are not harmful to humans as users. Nanosilver works at low to high concentrations without harming humans and the environment. Even at low concentrations, nanomaterials have many times the activity compared to the same material but not in nano form. This is the advantage of nano materials that can be relied on to be applied to various products. The aim of this basic research is to obtain data on the antimicrobial activity of nanosilver which can be used as a basis for making innovative floor cleaning fluid formulas. The results obtained are yellow colloidal nanosilver with identification of two instruments. In UV-Visible, UV absorption characterization data for nanosivers at 430 nm was obtained. The TEM instrument provides diameter information. Collections of nanosilver atoms have a diameter of 20–40 nm. The results of the antimicrobial test were obtained with the help of microscopic images taken by the Olympus CX-23 microscope instrument. The creation of this innovative floor cleaning liquid formula is said to be successful if a formula with the lowest nanosilver addition is obtained which is able to provide an antibacterial effect close to that of conventional floor cleaners. The concentration of nanosilver in this selected formula is used as the basis for making commercial floor cleaning liquid products. In making the formula, it was found that the nanosilver concentration of 20 ppm had the same activity as conventional floor cleaners. Innovative floor cleaning fluid contains 20 ppm nanosilver providing an antimicrobial effect twice as strong as floor cleaners without nanosilver. Thus, it can be concluded that the best formula with the most effective antimicrobial activity is the 20 ppm nanosilver formula.
