Incredibly convenient.
Remarkably affordable.

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.

What your neighbors in and around Merritt say

  • The people, the smiling service, the extra mile for little things. If I'm impressed by the person at my door, I can be sure the leadership is top notch. I often text back when I get my notification and ask Rinse to please not ring the doorbell but to call or text because we have an infant sleeping at delivery time. Not once has the doorbell rung. I see the same people delivering and picking up, and they are always super friendly.

  • 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!!! ❤️

  • 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!

  • Convenience and good service. Haven't has a problem with my orders to date. Clothes are folded nicely and smell great. Customer service is always available in case I have any questions or need to reschedule.

  • 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.

  • The drivers are nice, and it's easy to schedule pickups. I love not having to drop off or pick up dry cleaning at all, and the wash & fold is so effortless.

  • Laundry is a hassle. Quarters, going to the basement, lugging stuff around. The pick-up and drop off only when you need it, is the best.

    Michelle M.

  • Convenient app to schedule pickups and excellent customer service. Super flexible and friendly concierge/delivery drivers who always accommodate me if I need them to come at a later time or at the end of their route.

  • We used Rinse over a period of approximately 3 months when we were remodeling our home and didn't have a washer and dryer available. It was helpful to have a service like Rinse that did pickup and delivery, with reasonable rates.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Text message communication is awesome. I can just look at the messages and know whats going on without having to make calls, and the immediate response to questions rocks as well.

    Meg W.

  • Just the sheer convenience of not having to drop off and pick up. Love the convenience of someone picking up and delivering to my door in the evenings after I get off work.

    Mei-Li L.

  • I love to throw my laundry bag out the window to save the person from having to climb my stairs when they do a pickup. I have 43 stairs so having a service to pick up and deliver my laundry is an amazing luxury!!

    Susan E.

    in San Francisco

  • It's super convenient! I love the ease of just stuffing a bag full of dirty laundry and having it picked up and dropped off neatly folded and organized. I also like that the dates are deterministic and know exactly the day it'll come. Makes it easier to plan my schedule around it.

    Aldrich W.

    in San Francisco

  • Reliable and convenient. Line of communication has always been great. Even when I cause problems by not being available to answer my door for deliveries, and such, I'm able to communicate via text with my valet and schedule redelivery. Always courteous.

    Adam S.

  • I don't have to deal with laundromats and folding laundry. I trust the team. They're always friendly and helpful in coordinating and the whole experience is a delight.

    Heather H.

    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

  • The flexibility of pick up and drop off is amazing, and I have had a positive experience with your drivers being communicative and punctual. We have a laundry and dry cleaning service at work, but I hate the idea of trekking home on a bus with my pile of clothes. Rinse takes care of the most annoying aspects of laundry and dry cleaning!
