By selecting one or more deodorizing agents from among glycine, cysteine and glycylglycine, and incorporating the selected deodorizing agent(s) and a surfactant, the toxicity of the surfactant to men and beasts is controlled without inhibiting the antibacterial actions that the surfactant has inherently. Glycine, cysteine, and glycylglycine each have a strong deodorizing action. The invention causes antibacterial deodorants to further have a deodorizing action by using such deodorizing agents. Moreover, the invention increases the permeating ability, thereby enhancing both the antibacterial action and the deodorizing action by subjecting water to treatment for fragmenting a cluster of the water and then adding the resulting active water as a diluent, or by preparing the diluent by incorporating alcohol with the active water.
