A laundry treating apparatus comprising: a cabinet comprising a front panel having an introduction port; a laundry receiving unit positioned in the cabinet to receive laundry introduced through the introduction port; a door configured to open and close the introduction port; a first hinge comprising a first shaft provided at one of the cabinet and the door to define a first rotational axis of the door and a first shaft receiving unit provided at the other of the cabinet and the door to receive the first shaft, a second hinge comprising a second shaft coupled to the door to define the first rotational axis together with the first shaft and a third shaft adapted to rotatably fix the second shaft to the cabinet, the third shaft defining a second rotational axis of the door; a third hinge comprising a fourth shaft provided at one of the cabinet and the door to define the second rotational axis together with the third shaft and a fourth shaft receiving unit provided at the other of the cabinet and the door to receive the fourth shaft; a first switching unit, provided at the door, being configured to translate so as to open and close the first shaft receiving unit; and a second switching unit provided at the door, being configured to translate so as to open and close the fourth shaft receiving unit, the second switching unit being adapted for closing the fourth shaft receiving unit when the first switching unit opens the first shaft receiving unit, characterized in that the first switching unit is configured such that one end thereof partly remains in the first shaft receiving unit when the first switching unit opens the first shaft receiving unit and the second switching unit closes the fourth shaft receiving unit, such that repulsive force is applied from the one end of the first switching unit to the first shaft when the door is rotated about the second rotational axis, and/or in that the second switching unit is configured such that one end thereof partly remains in the fourth shaft receiving unit when the second switching unit opens the fourth shaft receiving unit and the first switching unit closes the first shaft receiving unit, such that repulsive force is applied from the one end of the second switching unit to the fourth shaft when the door is rotated about the first rotational axis. a cabinet comprising a front panel having an introduction port; a laundry receiving unit positioned in the cabinet to receive laundry introduced through the introduction port; a door configured to open and close the introduction port; a first hinge comprising a first shaft provided at one of the cabinet and the door to define a first rotational axis of the door and a first shaft receiving unit provided at the other of the cabinet and the door to receive the first shaft, a second hinge comprising a second shaft coupled to the door to define the first rotational axis together with the first shaft and a third shaft adapted to rotatably fix the second shaft to the cabinet, the third shaft defining a second rotational axis of the door; a third hinge comprising a fourth shaft provided at one of the cabinet and the door to define the second rotational axis together with the third shaft and a fourth shaft receiving unit provided at the other of the cabinet and the door to receive the fourth shaft; a first switching unit, provided at the door, being configured to translate so as to open and close the first shaft receiving unit; and a second switching unit provided at the door, being configured to translate so as to open and close the fourth shaft receiving unit, the second switching unit being adapted for closing the fourth shaft receiving unit when the first switching unit opens the first shaft receiving unit, characterized in that the first switching unit is configured such that one end thereof partly remains in the first shaft receiving unit when the first switching unit opens the first shaft receiving unit and the second switching unit closes the fourth shaft receiving unit, such that repulsive force is applied from the one end of the first switching unit to the first shaft when the door is rotated about the second rotational axis, and/or in that the second switching unit is configured such that one end thereof partly remains in the fourth shaft receiving unit when the second switching unit opens the fourth shaft receiving unit and the first switching unit closes the first shaft receiving unit, such that repulsive force is applied from the one end of the second switching unit to the fourth shaft when the door is rotated about the first rotational axis.
