An allergen inactivator containing as an active ingredient a polysaccharide derivative in which the main chain is a cellulose ether or starch ether and part or all of the hydrogen atoms of the hydroxy groups have been replaced with a group represented by the following general formula (1): -E1-(OA)n-E2-R (1) (wherein E1 represents C1-6 alkylene optionally substituted by hydroxy or oxo; n is an integer of 0 to 50; n A's are the same or different and each represents C1-6 alkylene; E2 represents an ether bond or hydroxycarbonyl group; and R represents optionally hydroxylated C4-30 alkyl, optionally hydroxylated C1-5 sulfoalkyl, or a salt thereof). By the use of the allergen inactivator, allergens present in the environment, e.g., house dust, can be inactivated without adversely influencing the human body and without causing problems including coloration. |
