Abstract
A clothing treatment includes: a cabinet; a door coupled to the cabinet; a tub; a drum provided inside the tub; a driving unit for rotating the drum; a gasket that connects an entrance of the cabinet to an opening of the tub; and a water supply unit for supplying water to the tub. The water supply unit is configured to supply water to the tub to a first water level higher than the lowest part of an inner side surface of the gasket. The driving unit is configured to rotate the drum at a first rotating speed at which a centrifugal force applied to laundry inside the drum is greater than the gravity applied to the laundry at the first water level.
