A cleaning apparatus comprising:

• a vacuum cleaner including a dust collecting container;
• and
• a docking station configured to charge a battery of the vacuum cleaner,
• wherein the dust collecting container includes:
• a body including a circumferential surface forming a side surface of the dust collecting container,
• a dust collecting container door formed at a lower portion of the dust collecting container and configured to open the body, the dust collecting container door including an engaging protrusion, and
• a fixing member disposed at the circumferential surface of the body and configured to hook to the engaging protrusion, the fixing member including a hook and a pusher, the pusher being disposed to protrude outward of the circumferential surface of the body,
• wherein the docking station includes:
• a suction device configured to suction foreign substances inside the dust collecting container,
• a seating portion configured to dock the dust collecting container and including an inner circumferential surface corresponding to the circumferential surface of the body, and
• an opening guide disposed at the inner circumferential surface of the seating portion and protruded from the inner circumferential surface of the seating portion to press the pusher disposed at the circumferential surface of the body,
• wherein the pusher and the hook are arranged in an opposite direction about a rotation axis of the fixing member, and
• wherein, in response to the dust collecting container docking to the docking station, the pusher is pressed by the opening guide toward an inside of the circumferential surface of the body such that the pusher rotates and releases the engaging protrusion to release the dust collecting container door.
