A stable, aqueous, glutaraldehyde solution comprising: an aqueous solution of glutaraldehyde; a non-ionic detergent; sodium acetate; and sufficient of a pH modifier to bring the pH of the solution to 6 to 8.5 is provided. The solution does not require an activator prior to use and is not a skin irritant. It is also stable for a period of up to 6 months at temperatures of 25.degree.C when undiluted. When diluted further with water to differing concentrations, it is suitable for use as a sterilising, cleaning, disinfecting,antiseptic, subcutaneously injectable or preservative end use composition. These diluted compositions are stable for a period of up to 12 months and also require no activation prior to use.
