Clothes treating apparatus and method for controlling the same

A method performed by a clothes treating apparatus comprising a tub, a drum rotatable in the tub, at least one inlet formed on a surface of the tub, at least one valve configured to open or close the at least one inlet, an intake motor connected to the at least one inlet, and a drying device configured to provide hot air to an inside of the drum, the method comprising:

• operating the drying device to dry laundry accommodated in the drum in response to a start of a drying process;
• identifying a dryness level of the laundry corresponding to a first sensing value of a first sensor disposed in the drum;
• operating the intake motor based on the dryness level of the laundry being greater than or equal to a reference dryness level;
• identifying a concentration of a detergent drawn into the at least one inlet based on a second sensing value of a second sensor disposed on the at least one inlet;
• and
• determining whether to end the drying process based on the dryness level of the laundry and the concentration of the detergent.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing one or more computer programs including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a clothes treating apparatus individually or collectively, cause the clothes treating apparatus to perform operations, the clothes treating apparatus including a tub, a drum rotatable in the tub, at least one inlet formed on a surface of the tub, at least one valve configured to open or close the at least one inlet, an intake motor connected to the at least one inlet, and a drying device configured to provide hot air to an inside of the drum, the operations comprising:

• operating the drying device to dry laundry accommodated in the drum in response to a start of a drying process;
• identifying a dryness level of the laundry corresponding to a first sensing value of a first sensor disposed in the drum;
• operating the intake motor based on the dryness level of the laundry being greater than or equal to a reference dryness level;
• identifying a concentration of a detergent drawn into the at least one inlet based on a second sensing value of a second sensor disposed on the at least one inlet;
• and
• determining whether to end the drying process based on the dryness level of the laundry and the concentration of the detergent.
