Claim 14:
15. A method of controlling a cleaning device including a vacuum cleaner including a dust collecting container and a dust collecting station to which the dust collecting container is configured to connect, the method comprising: determining, by at least one processor of the dust collecting station, whether the dust collecting container is connected to the dust collecting station based on an output value of a sensor of the dust collecting station that is configured to detect whether the dust collecting container is connected to the dust collecting station; controlling, by the at least one processor, a motor configured to rotate a suction fan to generate a suction airflow for a predetermined operation time based on determining that the dust collecting container is connected to the dust collecting station and an input of an operation command through an input device of the dust collecting station; and based on determining that the dust collecting container is separated from the dust collecting station before the predetermined operation time elapses or a stop command is received through the input device, controlling, by the at least one processor, the motor to remain turned on for a predetermined waiting time and then to be turned off so that foreign substances remaining in a suction airflow path along which the suction airflow moves inside the dust collecting station can be collected by a dust bag of the dust collecting station that is configured to collect the foreign substance that are moved by the suction airflow.
