Abstract
A clothes care apparatus including a main body having a care compartment with an exhaust port and a supply port; a heat exchanger in the main body; a blowing fan in the main body to generate airflow supplied to the care compartment through the supply port; an exhaust flow path to guide airflow from the exhaust port to pass through the heat exchanger; a circulation flow path to guide airflow from the exhaust flow path to the fan; a bypass opening to connect the care compartment and the circulation flow path; and a bypass door to open and close the bypass opening. When the bypass opening is open, at least a portion of the airflow flows directly into the circulation flow path without passing through the exhaust flow path. When the bypass opening is closed, none of the airflow flows directly from the care compartment into the circulation flow path.
