Amazing service, competitive prices

Wash & Fold

Wash & Fold process

We offer laundry pickup and laundry drop off services. Get your laundry returned to you washed and crisply folded - we even pair your socks!

Before cleaning, we’ll check your pockets for loose items, separate lights and darks, and never wash or dry your items with anyone else’s. We wash with cold water and dry on medium heat before neatly folding each item.

You can even set your cleaning preferences, like detergent type and fabric softener, from your account.

Priced per pound: Per pound $2.25
Except some household items: Bath mat $5.00
Duvet cover $15.00
Comforter / Duvet $30.00

Frequent users can check out Rinse Repeat. It’s laundry service priced per bag, not per pound, so you can save up to 56%

Dry Cleaning service is also available for anything you want cleaned, pressed, and returned on a hanger

Hang Dry service is also available for your more delicate items

What your neighbors in and around Lake Merritt say

  • “Amazing customer service, great communication, consistent process, easy, easy, easy. I can honestly say I will never do back to the "old way" of dry cleaning thanks to Rinse!!!”

    Anna M. in San Francisco
  • “It’s super convenient. I can order day of until 5pm, Rinse always works with me if I need to reschedule a drop off or even will come later if I’m not home yet for the original scheduled time. There are no penalties for rescheduling or cancelling. The reminders and notifications are perfectly scheduled so I am always informed but not annoyed.”

    Cailee M. in San Francisco
  • “Process is easy, updates on times are accurate, valets are always nice and polite, my items are returned smelling and looking great!”

    Shaina O. in San Francisco
  • “The convenience of not having to travel after work to take in or pick up dry cleaning is so helpful. Bay area traffic is a hot mess, so being able to have pick up in the evening is awesome.”

    Jim R. in San Francisco
  • “The quality of the cleaning / folding is really really good. I've used many cleaners in the past and with Rinse, my clothes come back the cleanest and neatest of anything I've experienced. ”

    Nathaniel E. in Berkeley
  • “Simplicity, ease of use, availability, customer service. Also the careful consideration of my clothes is amazing. The subtle bits of clothing repair when I'm missing a button or a string is out of place is what separates Rinse from the rest. You guys have my loyalty forever. ”

    David C. in San Francisco
  • “I have no washer or dryer in my apartment or in my building. I love the ability to have someone pick up and deliver my laundry. I have 46 stairs to climb to my apartment and I am 76 years old! Your service is both a necessity and a luxury. Thank you.”

    Susan E. in San Francisco
  • “New mobile app is great, you guys have kept up with me seamlessly as I've moved multiple times over the past year. Love that you pick up and drop off at night, which is most convenient for me. Awesome to eliminate laundry as a weekend chore!”

    Mike R. in San Francisco
  • “There is one washer and dryer in my building for 17 units. Inevitably whenever I want to do laundry, it's in use. Plus I'm a single mom with no outside help, so this just makes my life that much easier. One less thing to take care of.”

    Addie B. in San Francisco
  • “I love the efficiency of things - listen, the text messaging option is pretty lit. I was using Wash Club for a while; their service was inconsistent but if I want to make a teeny change, I literally had to log in to my account and - BLAGHFUBGH, no one has time for that. I really appreciate being able to text Rinse and the drivers any time I need to make a change. Pretty sweet!”

    Dannah S. in West Menlo Park
  • “You are the most wonderful new solution to my needs. I have 2 kids, full time job & a great husband who travels all the time. The amount of time saving, awesome quality, great reminders, great quality of work is simply awesome for me.”

    Lourdes M. in San Francisco
  • “The people are #1, you hire extraordinarily well, congrats on that, it's not easy, but each time I tell someone about Rinse, I start out with the people, then the excellent service.”

    Amando B. in San Bruno
  • “Convenience and customer service. Easy to talk to real humans behind the pickup and delivery.”

    Danielle F. in San Francisco
  • “The fact that you have different levels of service is great. Wash & fold is good for towels, but I like my sheets pressed, and because you hang dry, I can also send in clothes.”

    Maureen D. in San Francisco
  • “The convenience factor. Not having to spend half my day doing laundry, particularly bed linens. To have someone do it all for me is time-saving. I'd pay just to have someone fold my sheets!”

    Shannon M. in San Francisco
  • “Incredibly convenient and great customer service. The text messages alerting me that you'll be in my neighborhood is a brilliant marketing move, as well as supremely beneficial to me. The clothes come back great. I'm a new, single mom who lives in an apartment building that doesn't have laundry in the building. I honestly don't know what I would do if Rinse didn't exist. Thank you so much!”

    Nora M. in San Francisco
  • “I like the amount of communication from Rinse about when things are happening and accountability for items though pictures of dry cleaning pieces. Staff is friendly and helpful as well. ”

    Whitney R. in San Francisco
  • “The best three words to describe rinse are reliable, convenient, and friendly. I have been a customer for over 3 years, and all of my pick-ups and deliveries have been on time on the day I requested. My clothes come back in great condition, and often times even better than when I had them picked up (thanks to the team for the complimentary repairs!). Every valet has been friendly, cheerful, and helpful. Customer service is quick and easy. Thank you!”

    Samantha E. in San Francisco
  • “Due to my super busy work life and our not super lack of wash machine and dry in out unit, Rinse is a miracle on wheels. It saves me time and coinage to going to laundry mat. I love fast turn around and friendly drivers. ”

    Alicia F. in San Francisco
  • “RINSE IS THE BEST! I've long been an evangelist and am excited to do so again now that I'm back in a rinse territory. Why I love rinse: Friendly delivery folks, responsible (have never damaged my clothes), receiving a bag of beautifully folded laundry is like Christmas! The folks are so good about arriving within the time windows, time windows are convenient, there's an awesome article about how spending money on things that buy you back time makes you happier and Rinse does this. SF laundry is a mess of carrying your clothes down gross city streets, using a shared dryer and having to be present for 2 hours of chores- why not outsource this to launder fairies at Rinse and then spend that time sleeping, reading and adventuring!!! ❤️”
