Abstract
A shoe care device includes an inner cabinet, an air supply device that is configured to blow air to an accommodated space of the inner cabinet and includes a plurality of dehumidifying materials separate from one another, and a controller configured to control the air supply device. The air supply device includes a connection path configured to circulate air between an inlet and an outlet of the inner cabinet, and a regeneration path branched from the connection path and configured to guide air having passed through at least one of the dehumidifying materials to a portion of the air supply device other than the inlet. The controller is configured to control the air supply device to selectively open and close at least one of the connection path or the regeneration path based on whether or not at least one of the dehumidifying materials is heated.
