The invention relates to a garment care device (D) comprising a chamber (C) to receive at least one garment (G). The garment care device (D) also comprises a heating system (HS) for heating the at least one garment (G). The garment care device (D) also comprises a lighting system (LS) for emitting inside the chamber (C), a radiation having wavelength in the range [280; 500] nm. The garment care device (D) also comprises a metal oxide photocatalyst element (MO) disposed inside the chamber (C) such that the metal oxide photocatalyst element (MO) can receive the radiation. The chamber (C) comprises receiving means to receive the at least one garment (G) such that the at least one garment (G) remains spaced from the metal oxide photocatalyst element (MO). The garment care device according to the invention allows the combination of drying and sanitizing of garments, while imparting pleasant smell to garment in a safe and eco-friendly way.

The present invention relates to a clothes-handing apparatus comprising: a cabinet having a holder opening provided at an upper panel; an air moving part provided inside the cabinet so as to generate an air flow; a holder which is withdrawable from the cabinet through the holder opening and on which clothes are hung; and holder air holes provided at the holder so as to supply air to the clothes hung on the holder.
