1. A method for preparing a hypochlorous acid aqueous solution wherein an aqueous solution of hypochlorite is brought into contact with a weakly acidic cation exchanger to exchange a cation constituting the hypochlorite with hydrogen ions to increase the concentration of hypochlorous acid in the aqueous solution, wherein, prior to the contact between the hypochlorite aqueous solution with the weakly acidic cation exchanger, contacting the aqueous solution with
a neutral salt solution of a strong acid and a strong base in an amount that provides a hypochlorous acid aqueous solution having a pH of at least 3.5 when the hypochlorite aqueous solution is brought into contact with the cation exchanger, wherein the cation exchanger has been regenerated or has not been substantially subjected to cation exchange.

2. A regeneration treatment method for a weakly acidic cation exchanger that removes a cation from a solution to be treated that contains a substance that lose purposeful physical properties in a predetermined pH ranges lower than the solution to be treated and the cation, comprising
an exchange capacity restoration treatment process,
wherein the weakly acidic cation exchanger which was subjected to exchange the cation is contacted with an acid solution to release and remove the cation trapped in an exchange group, and
a neutral salt solution contacting process, wherein a neutral salt solution of a strong acid and a strong base in an amount that obtains a treated solution with a pH that is higher than the predetermined pH range and at which the substance exhibits the purposeful physical property when subjected to exchange the cation of the solution to be treated is brought into contact with the weakly acidic cation exchanger that has subjected to the exchange capacity restoration process.
