Clothing management apparatus and control method therefor

A method of controlling a clothing management apparatus, the method comprising:

• driving a fan, arrangeable between an outer case of the clothing management apparatus and an inner case inside the outer case, to introduce air into a clothing accommodation space formed by the inner case;
• guiding the air from the clothing accommodation space to introduce through the air to a first exhaust port and introduce the air through a second exhaust port, respectively;
• collecting dust generated in the inner case as the air is introduced through the first exhaust port such that the air passes through a filter arrangeable along a first exhaust flow path, the first exhaust port being along the first exhaust flow path;
• heating the air introduced through the second exhaust port as the air passes through a heat exchanger arrangeable along a second exhaust flow path, the second exhaust port being along the second exhaust flow path;
• and
• receiving air from the first exhaust port and the second exhaust port and guiding the air to the fan to exhaust the air into the inner case,
• wherein, during the collecting of the dust, air passing through the first exhaust flow path bypasses the heat exchanger and is directed toward the fan.
