Clothes care apparatus and control method therefor

A control method of controlling a clothes care apparatus, the control method comprising:

• receiving a selection of an operating course for taking care of a target in an accommodating chamber;
• and
• controlling a heat pump apparatus configured to dehumidify and heat air circulating through the accommodating chamber based on the selected operating course, wherein the heat pump apparatus includes a refrigerant pipe through which a refrigerant circulates and at least one of a compressor, a condenser, an expansion apparatus, or an evaporator,
• wherein the clothes care apparatus includes a condensed water collecting apparatus configured to collect condensed water generated from the heat pump apparatus, and having a storage space in which the collected condensed water is stored,
• wherein a portion of the refrigerant pipe passes through the storage space, and
• wherein the control method further comprises, in the selected operating course, controlling the heat pump apparatus so that the refrigerant circulating through the refrigerant pipe passes through the portion of the refrigerant pipe while in a high temperature state, to evaporate the condensed water stored in the storage space.
