Old City

Rinse offers the most convenient laundry service for residents of Old City.

Old City or Old Oakland is an historic section of Downtown Oakland. While the Pacific Railroad was being constructed in the 1860's, Old City functioned as the original downtown. Today, the neighborhood is undergoing a bit of a reconnaissance as many apartments and shops are popping up in the area.

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 Old City say

  • 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

  • It's very easy to use the people are friendly. I've never had an issue that left a bad taste in my mouth. It's amazing how response the Rinse team is. For example, I had a pickup schedule but my work event ran late. I just responded to the text and my pickup was rescheduled in minutes without any fees or hassle.

    Pavandeep K.

    in San Francisco

  • The fabric softener you all started using is great. But honestly, just getting my clothes folded and ready to go is worth it to me. Also pairing the socks like you did last time is awesome.

    Jeff D.

    in San Francisco

  • It's easy to reschedule, and it is reliable, and I don't have to pay for rescheduling, and if I'm not home I can just ask for my delivery to be left at my door. It's just a great service.. totally worth it

    Julia M.

    in San Francisco

  • 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.

    in San Francisco

  • The Rinse drivers have been very pleasant and courteous. Also, you’ve made scheduling pick ups very easy and the late evening pick up/delivery suits my busy lifestyle.

    Liane F.

    in San Francisco

  • 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.

    Tyler C.

    in Oakland

  • Convenience and customer service. Easy to talk to real humans behind the pickup and delivery.

    Danielle F.

  • 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!!! ❤️

    Heather H.

    in San Francisco

  • They come later in the evening, allowing me time to get home from work/an activity and not have to rush. Also the convince of having them do the wash and fold.

    Sarah M.

    in San Francisco

  • Cheaper than most dry cleaning places in the city and dropped off to your door! What more could you ask for?!

    Preston R.

    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

  • 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

  • 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 that couriers can pick up and drop off laundry at the door even when we're not home. Our schedule used to revolve around our laundry, but now we can just leave the bag out front if we won't be home.

    Ashley M.

    in Mill Valley

  • 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.

    in San Francisco

  • Rinse makes it so easy to get laundry done - huge time saver, and I know they will always treat my clothes right! I have never had an issue that Rinse wasn't able to correct, and even that is super super rare. Reliable, easy, and convenient!

    Natalie R.

    in San Francisco

  • The quality of services combined with the speed is amazing. As a subscriber to Rinse Repeat, this service has been a life saver since we have two little boys (with another little one on the way). We are able to fill the bag with our clothes and the next day our clothes are back, folded perfectly and smelling amazing.

    John K.

    in Sunnyvale

  • I like how easy it is to reschedule pickup and drop-off, the valets are always courteous and nice, and it's not that much more expensive than going to the laundromat.

    Hillary L.

    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!
