Abstract: The fungistatic/antibacterial treatment method for sewed goods like clothes according to the present invention is characterized by the steps of permeating the fungistatic/antibacterial chemicals into a variety of sewed goods like clothes after sewed, to be adsorbed thereby, followed by draining, and then drying by heating them with hot air in the state of being hung from hangers. Thus since the sewed goods to which the fungistatic/antibacterial chemicals have been applied are dried in the state of being hung from hangers, positive fixed adsorption of the fungistatic/antibacterial chemicals can be made, foreclosing uneven permeation of the fungistatic/antibacterial chemicals, which is usually unavoidably brought about by their contact with other objects, whereby highly wash resistant fungistatic/antibacterial treatment has been realized.
