The present invention relates to a stable liquid, volatile peroxyacid containing sporicidal disinfecting composition, effective in deactivating, inhibiting, disabling, killing, and/or sterilizing bacterial spores, comprising: —about ≥0.05 wt.-% to about ≤10 wt.-% of at least one C2 to C8 carboxylic acid and at least one C2 to C8 peroxycarboxylic acid, —about ≥2 wt.-% to about ≤20 wt.-% of an peroxide agent, —about ≥20 wt.-% to about ≤50 wt.-% of an alcohol with about 2 to about 4 carbons, —the remainder to 100% by weight is water, based on the total weight of the sporicidal liquid composition.
