a care chamber to accommodate clothes;
a support bar to extend along an extending direction inside the care chamber;
a holding member on which the clothes are to be hung, the holding member including a hanging portion, at an upper end of the holding member, that is supportable by the support bar;
a support portion, arrangeable relative to the support bar, such that while an upper end of the hanging portion is hung on the support portion, the hanging portion is supported by the support bar;
a slider to perform a linear reciprocating motion; and
a swing hook, to grip a lower end of the hanging portion, and coupleable to the slider such that while the swing hook is coupled to the slider, the swing hook is moveable while the slider performs the linear reciprocating motion,
wherein the upper end of the hanging portion is supported by the support portion along a first direction of the care chamber while the lower end of the hanging portion reciprocates along a second direction of the care chamber different from the first direction as the swing hook moves while the slider performs the linear reciprocating motion, thereby the hanging portion is to shake the clothes hung on the holding member.
