Abstract

The present disclosure provides a clothing care machine, including a machine base, a support column, a cloth cover and a top seat. The support column is connected to the machine base at a bottom, and the top seat is connected to a top of the support column. The cloth cover is provided between the machine base and the top seat to form a cavity, and the machine base is provided with a steam outlet and/or a hot air outlet. When in use, the clothes are put into the cavity, and the automatic care of the clothes is realized through the steam output by the steam outlet or the hot air output by the hot air outlet of the machine base. During the process, the user does not need to operate the whole process, saving time and effort.
