Rinse Inc., San Francisco

The folks at Rinse strive to make laundry day painless and fast from start to finish. Instead of hauling a heavy load of clothes up a hill to the laundromat, customers simply schedule a pick-up online and Rinse valets will swing by to grab any dirty garments, from dry cleaning to wash and fold items to items that require special care, such as leather jackets, comforters, and delicates. Best of all, clients communicate with Rinse employees via text, so they can ensure convenient timing and service, and pick-up and drop-off times run from 8 p.m. until 10 p.m., six nights a week, in order to accommodate busy work schedules.
