Abstract: Provided is a clothes treating apparatus. The clothes treating apparatus may include a clothes receiving device providing a space for receiving clothes therein, a circulation passage provided in the clothes receiving device and configured to provide a flow path for air circulation through the clothes receiving device, and a heat-exchanging device provided in the circulation passage and configured to dehumidify air introduced into the circulation passage. A blower may be provided in the circulation passage and configured to circulate air within the clothes receiving device. A condensed water discharge device may be provided at a lower surface of the circulation passage and configured to discharge condensed water generated by the heat-exchanging device. The condensed water discharge device may include a backflow-preventing member that prevents backflow of the condensed water from the condensed water discharge device to the circulation passage.
