To provide a clothes treatment apparatus that has a structure capable of efficiently feeding steam to clothes.
The clothes treatment apparatus includes a housing tub for housing clothes and a steam feeding mechanism for feeding steam to the housing tub. The steam feeding mechanism includes: a steam generator 420 that has a wall surface defining a chamber for generating steam; a heater for heating the wall surface; and a water feeding mechanism for discharging water to the wall surface heated by the heater. In the steam generator 420, an inflow port 437 from which water from the water feeding mechanism flows in through a connection tube 421 is formed, and a pipe 440 for establishing communication between the connection tube 421 and the inflow port 437 is provided. Since it has the inflow port 437 for establishing communication between the connection tube 421 and the inflow port 437, the temperature rise around the inflow port 437 is suppressed and the deposit of impurities (scales) precipitated at steam generation underwater is suppressed, and thus clogging by impurities (scales) around the inflow port 437 is prevented.
