Rinse (company)

Rinse, Inc., is an American on-demand laundry and dry cleaning services company headquartered in San Francisco, California. The company offers clothing pickup and delivery service.

History
Rinse was founded in 2013 by entrepreneurs and Dartmouth College friends James Joun and Ajay Prakash. Joun was previously helping his parents in their dry cleaning storefront. After launching in San Francisco, the company expanded to California and raised $3.5 million in seed funding in June 2015.

In 2016, Rinse purchased the assets of Washio, shortly after the Los Angeles-based company shut operations. The company launched in New York City by acquiring FlyCleaners for an undisclosed amount in 2022. Other acquisitions include Cleanly's San Francisco operations in 2019, South Bay upstart OffToYou in 2020, Chicago-based dry cleaning startup Dryv in 2020, and Los Angeles-based Butlerbox in 2021.
