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.

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 Old City say

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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

  • Attention to detail is excellent. Giving a 2 hour time frame for deliveries/pick ups from 8 pm-10 pm is good, but the following up text at 7 pm narrowing the time to 15 minutes increments is great! You take the inconvenience out of waiting around as much as you can

    Alexandra S.

    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!

    Yekaterina R.

    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.

  • Valets are very amenable to leaving things in the garage if I need them to. Very responsive when I text and great customer service. I like the text message interface- that's huge.

    Christina M.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

    Amando B.

    in San Bruno

  • Ease of use. My life is busy with work. I work 14 hour days. I want to enjoy my weekends and don't want to be bogged down for hours with laundry. And you fold much better than I do.

    Michael L.

  • 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

  • Convenience and customer service. Your drivers are amazing with communication. So impressed by the caliber of employee you've been able to maintain.

    Niki H.

    in San Francisco

  • Pick-up and drop-off have been great even though I’m awful at hearing my doorbell. All the couriers have been so accommodating. And my laundry is perfect every time. Especially since my laundry is so abundant, in a household with disabled person Rinse is a god send.

    Monina T.

    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

  • 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

  • Commication and responds are super fast. Communication via text is super convenient. Also seems like rinse thought about all the little details before hand so every question has an answer.

    Koray E.

    in Berkeley

  • 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.
