Abstract

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.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a laundry care device for drying and disinfecting laundry and also to a corresponding method for drying and disinfecting laundry. [0002] The invention can be used, for example, in the field of laundry care. Background technique [0003] Conventional washing does not remove all the bacteria on the clothes and if the clothes are left wet for a long time, they will develop a musty smell. This problem can be partially solved by using a clothes dryer such as a tumble dryer. However, the high heat generated in the dryer drum often causes shrinkage of the laundry as well as severe creases at the edges and abrasion of the laundry. Therefore, despite the increasing popularity of tumble dryers in recent years, sun drying is still preferred, for example in Asian countries. Sun drying of clothing is common because natural ultraviolet radiation has a disinfecting effect on clothing, removing musty odors and replacing musty odors with a...
