It is in the scope of the invention to disclose a biocidic textiles and fabrics, comprising at least one insoluble proton sink or source (PSS). The textiles and fabrics is provided useful for killing living target cells (LTCs), or otherwise disrupting vital intracellular processes and/or intercellular interactions of the LTC upon contact; the PSS comprising (i) proton source or sink providing a buffering capacity; and (ii) means providing proton conductivity and/or electrical potential; wherein the PSS is effectively disrupting the pH homeostasis and/or electrical balance within the confined volume of the LTC and/or disrupting vital intercellular interactions of the LTCs while efficiently preserving the pH of the LTCs' environment.
