There is provided a method for manufacturing a galvanized steel sheet that has low sliding resistance in press forming and good degreasing property even under severe alkaline degreasing treatment conditions due to low temperature and short process line length. An oxide layer formed on the surface of a galvanized steel sheet is subjected to neutralization treatment using an alkaline aqueous solution containing 0.01 g/L or more of P ions and 0.01 g/L or more of colloid dispersed particles, wherein the alkaline aqueous solution preferably contains at least one phosphorus compound selected from phosphates, pyrophosphates, and triphosphates and at least one type of colloid dispersed particles selected from Ti, silica, Pt, Pd, Zr, Ag, Cu, Au, and Mg.
