What to expect

What to expect on your first Rinse.

Pickup

At 5:30pm on the evening of your scheduled pickup, you'll receive a text message with a 30-minute estimated time of arrival for your Valet between 8pm and 10pm. Your Valet will bring your personalized Rinse bags so you have everything you need to use Rinse. All you have to do is have your clothes ready in a hamper or pile by the door.

Cleaning

Once we pick up your clothes, we'll take them to one of our vetted local cleaning partners. You'll receive a detailed email including the list of items you've entrusted to our care. Your clothes will then be inspected for stains and items that shouldn't be washed, and professionally cleaned according to the service you selected.

Delivery

We'll send you a text message on the morning of your scheduled delivery to confirm your delivery between 8pm and 10pm. Once confirmed, you'll receive another text message at 5:30pm with an estimated time of arrival for your Valet. Your Valet will deliver your clean clothes, ready to wear!

Our standard turnaround for orders is 3-4 days. Next-Day Rush Service is always included with your Rinse Repeat Plus Wash & Fold plan. All other Wash & Fold customers have the option to add Next-Day Rush Service for $9.95.

Why you’ll love Rinse

Your questions, answered

  • Do you wash my clothes together with other people’s clothes?

    Your clothes get their own machine, are separated by lights and darks, cleaned according to your preferences, and delivered neatly folded to your door – we even pair your socks.

  • Where do you clean my clothes?

    Your clothes are cleaned at one of our vetted cleaning partners. We only work with carefully selected local cleaners who have established a very high level of quality and reliability. For your protection and overall peace of mind, we have also built multiple layers of inspection and control to ensure high-quality.

  • What is the turnaround time?

    The normal turnaround time for delivery is 3-4 days for all our services.

    For Wash & Fold, we also offer next-day Rush Service for an additional fee of $9.95. Note all Rinse Repeat Plus plans include free Rush Service on all Wash & Fold orders.

    At this time, Hang Dry and Dry Cleaning cannot be rushed.

  • What if I’m not at home during pickup or delivery?

    If you are not available during our 8pm - 10pm delivery window, you can enable the Rinse Drop settings on your account, which will allow you to designate where you would like your order to be left. Please note that we do require a Release of Liability in order to enable the Rinse Drop settings on your account.

    If you opt to utilize Rinse Drop for pickup or delivery, we ask you to consider that our Valet has access to a safe place to pick up and deliver your clothes. Typically, this means you can buzz us into your apartment building remotely or you can provide a door code, but every situation is different. If you don’t feel comfortable with your items or deliveries being left there, please don’t select it as your Rinse Drop location!

    For more information on Rinse Drop, please review our Rinse Drop FAQ.

  • Where is Rinse located?

    Headquartered in San Francisco, Rinse operates in many cities in the United States – check out the full list of cities Rinse operates in.

  • Should I separate my laundry?

    We just ask that you separate your Dry Cleaning / Launder & Press from your Wash & Fold clothes prior to your Valet’s arrival. If you are not able to do so, no problem! Our Valet will still provide your Rinse bags and can standby while you sort your items.

    There is an easy rule of thumb for how to best separate your laundry:

    • Anything you would like returned, pressed, and on hangers should be placed in the WHITE (Dry Clean / Launder & Press) bag.
    • Any laundry you want machine washed and returned folded should be placed in the BLACK (Wash & Fold) bag.

    We also offer customers TEAL Hang Dry bags. These bags are for any laundry you want machine washed and hung to dry (a.k.a. “air dry” or “line dry”).

  • Do you have same-day or next-day delivery in Washington DC?

    Next-day option for Wash & Fold is available!

    We offer next-day Wash & Fold for an additional Rush Service fee of $9.95. You can select this option when placing your order or set a permanent preference for next day Wash & Fold on our customer preferences page.

    In addition, all Rinse Repeat Plus plans include free Rush Service so you’ll get your laundry back the next-day during our normal service hours (between 8pm and 10pm).

    At this time, Hang Dry and Dry Cleaning cannot be rushed.

Clothing care in Arlington

On average, Rinse saves customers who use Wash & Fold and Dry Cleaning 3+ hours a week! That’s time they can use to do what they love, instead of folding clothes or tracking down wayward socks. 

Working out? Avoid cotton! 

Did you know that it’s best to wear synthetic fibers when breaking a sweat? While it may seem natural to throw on a comfortable cotton tee, cotton actually traps moisture and takes longer to dry. Aside from the general discomfort that comes from wearing sweaty workout clothes, damp fabric increases the likelihood of chafing and can even be dangerous in cold weather!

Synthetic fabrics like DryFit, Thinsulate, Thermax, CoolMax, and polypropylene are best. They wick the sweat away from your body, keeping you dry and comfortable.

Caring for your workout clothes 

Synthetics are a special type of material and need a special type of care. When washing your workout clothes remember these 4 things to keep your clothes from shrinking and extend the life of each garment:

1. After a workout, immediately wash your clothes or air them out until they dry - Never let a sweaty workout shirt stay damp at the bottom of your gym bag.

2. Wash with cold water - Heat can damage the elastic of stretchy materials

3. Use less detergent and never use fabric softener - Detergent clings to synthetic materials and may not fully wash out, while fabric softener breaks down the elastic.

4. Avoid heat from the dryer - Hanging your clothes to dry is best, but using the low/no heat setting on the dryer is also acceptable.
