About
Rinse is a premium on-demand laundry and dry cleaning service operating across major U.S. cities including San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Austin, Seattle, and more. Users schedule a pickup any day of the week through the Rinse website or app, and a personal Valet arrives between 7–10 PM to collect clothes using free, personalized Rinse bags. For Wash & Fold orders, clothes are separated by color, washed in cold water, and returned crisply folded with socks paired — ready to be worn or put away. Dry cleaning orders receive expert stain inspection, care-label-guided treatment, and are returned pressed on hangers inside protective garment bags, typically within 3–4 business days. Customers receive a photo and itemized inventory of every item sent for dry cleaning, along with real-time Valet tracking and SMS notifications. Rinse offers flexible bag-size pricing (Full Bag for larger loads, Flex Bag for lighter loads), hypoallergenic detergent options on request, and business accounts for corporate clients. It is designed for busy professionals, families, and anyone who wants to reclaim time spent on laundry without sacrificing garment care quality.
