The method includes preheating the drying device by introducing dry air from the outside to the drying device before a first preset time from a start point of a drying operation, performing the drying operation at the start point, wherein the wet air is discharged from the tub during the drying operation, and cooling the dry air supplier by stopping operation of the heating part before a second preset time from an end time point of the drying operation.
