The invention concerns antimicrobially effective aqueous solutions comprising at least 0.005 % wt of one or more nonionic surfactants which have pH of 9 or above and which do not contain other known antimicrobially active components. The nonionic surfactants are preferably ethoxylated aliphatic alcohols, ethoxylated alkylphenols or amine oxides. The solutions are mild to surfaces and particularly effective against gram-negative bacteria. The invention also concerns a process for antimicrobial treatment of animate or inanimate surfaces using the solutions according to the invention. |
