An aqueous disinfectant solution comprising peroxyacetic acid and a surfactant such as a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate, (polyethylene glycol p-(1,1,3,3- tetramethylbutyl)-phenyl ether) or cocoamidopropylamino oxide.. The solution is preferably adjusted to provide a pH in the range 5-8 by a pH adjusting agent such as a phosphate buffer; hydroxide; carbonate; bicarbonate; a combination of carbonate and hydroxide; or a combination of carbonate and bi carbonate.
