The present invention refers to a method for manufacturing a functional textile product with microbicidal activity, which can preferably have a text or image in color or black and white printed on it, which is aimed at solving the problem of impregnating and fixing a microbicidal solution in simple steps and without the use of fixing or dispersing chemicals, and in another aspect that the textile fabric may also have a predetermined digital image on the surface thereof, where the image has definition, contrast and durability of the print without neglecting or affecting the microbicidal activity on the textile substrate. Preferably, without intending to limit the scope of the invention, the functional textile woven material may be bed linens such as covers, duvets and the like, clothing, articles for hospitals or the health sector, such as face covers, the industrial sector, food or any other sector that requires contagion prevention devices.

A method of making an antimicrobial textile comprising TiO.sub.2 nanoparticles is described. The TiO.sub.2 nanoparticles are immobilized by first treating a textile with a base, and then contacting with TiO.sub.2 nanoparticles in a solution of an alcohol and acid. The textile may be subsequently irradiated with UV light prior to use. The antimicrobial textile shows high effectiveness against the growth and proliferation of microorganisms transmitted within indoor environments.
