As described above, in the cleaning / sterilizing method of the present invention, in order to simultaneously generate the strong alkaline water for removing oil and the sterilizing hypochlorous acid sterilizing water by the diaphragm electrolyzer, the above (1), ( The method (2) is available, but the method (1) is more advantageous. The reason is that in the case of (2), a part of the alkaline water generated in the diaphragm electrolyzer is consumed for adjusting the hypochlorous acid sterilizing water, so that strong alkaline water for washing and sterilizing water are used. While the generation flow rate of hypochlorous acid water changes, inconvenience occurs when you want to wash dishes with strong alkaline water and sterilize with hypochlorous acid water at the set flow rate ratio,
In the case of the above (1), mainly in addition to a chloride salt such as potassium chloride, a compound that dissolves in water and exhibits alkalinity is added to perform diaphragm electrolysis, so that the pH of the anode chamber is 3 to 7 from the beginning. This is because it is possible to supply water having a target pH without changing the flow rate ratio by generating hypochlorous acid of 0.5.
