However, the control method of the hot water scrubber 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention can control the speeds of the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 by comparing sounds sensed in the toilet with preset values .

The control method of the hot water scrubber 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a step S270 of checking whether the set time of the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 are driven at an increased speed, . ≪ / RTI > Here, the set time may mean a time set by the user.

In the control method of the hot water scrubber 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the time when the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 are driven at an increased speed is shorter than the set time, The increased speed of the exhaust fan 620 can be maintained.

The control method of the hot water scrubber 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is such that when the time when the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 are driven at an increased speed is longer than a set time, And reducing the speed of the exhaust fan 620 (S280). Here, reducing the speed of the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 means that the speed of the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 are adjusted to the initial speed.

The control method of the hot water scrubber 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention may include a step S240 of confirming the departure of the user after decreasing the speed of the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 .

As a result, the control method of the hot water scrubber 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention can control the speeds of the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 of the deodorizer 600 according to the state of the user. Accordingly, in the control method of the hot water washer 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the odor in the toilet can be quickly removed.

10 is a flowchart showing another control method of the hot water scrubber 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

A control method of the hot water washer 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 8 and 10. Fig. First, a method of controlling a hot water washer 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a step S310 of maintaining the deodorization apparatus 600 in a standby state, a step S320 of confirming whether or not the user is seated, A step S330 of driving the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 of the engine 600 and a step S340 of confirming whether or not the user has departed.

The control method of the hot water cleaner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a step 350 of detecting a sound in the toilet when a user's departure is not confirmed, and a step 350 when the detected sound is larger than the noise of the deodorizer 600 A step 360 of increasing the speed of the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 and a step 360 of increasing the speed of driving the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 at an increased speed, (Step S370). ≪ RTI ID = 0.0 >

The control method of the hot water scrubber 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention may be such that if the time when the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 are driven at an increased speed is less than the set time, Step 390. < / RTI >

The control method of the hot water scrubber 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is such that the sound in the toilet bowl sensed in a state where the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan 620 are driven at an increased speed, (S400) the elapsed time of the intake fan (610) and the exhaust fan (620) driven at an increased speed, if it is greater than the noise caused by the exhaust fan (620).

As a result, the control method of the hot water washer 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is such that the intake fan 610 and the exhaust fan (not shown) 620 may be driven at an increased rate. Accordingly, the odor in the toilet can be effectively removed by the control method of the hot water washer 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
