The present invention relates to electrochemically treated water obtainable by a process characterized by the following steps: a) electrolyzing water and b) reducing the concentrations of the oxidants formed in step a). The thus available electrochemically treated water is characterized by a disinfecting effect against bacteria, bacterial spores, fungi, fungal spores, viruses, prions or mixtures thereof. The invention further relates to water, characterized in that it has a disinfecting action against bacteria, bacterial spores, fungi, fungal spores, viruses, algae, prions or mixtures thereof, that it is substantially free from disinfectants, with the exception of the disinfectants belonging to the disinfectants, and that it has a total concentration of oxidants of less than 20 ppm. |
