How does Laundry Wand ensure quality?


We take great pride in providing high-quality cleaning for every garment you give us. We have developed several steps in our process to ensure that your clothes always receive the best care. We rely on our experience and do all the laundry ourselves, For dry cleaning we use the very best partners. We work with the best: We have a thorough vetting process and always make sure that our cleaning partners are well-managed, environmentally conscious, and follow industry best practices. We provide constant feedback: We work closely with all of our cleaning partners and provide them with thorough, detailed, and actionable feedback to ensure that they deliver a consistently great product. We have quality built into our internal process: We have several additional processes outside of the cleaning process in place to ensure that your garments are inspected while they are in our care. No item can pass our “quality control” check and be returned to you without a member of our internal team reviewing it. We’ll do what it takes to get everything right: We are confident that your items will receive the best quality cleaning possible. If you find a stain that has slipped through the cracks or your garment doesn’t meet our (or your) quality standards, please email care@rinse.com and we’ll provide a complimentary re-cleaning.

Is there a minimum order size for Wash & Fold?


Yes, 15lbs in-store and 30lbs for pickup. In some cases there are larger items that are charged on a per item basis. These items include: Comforter/Duvet: $30 Duvet Cover: $15 Bath mat: $5 Sheets or Tablecloth: Per lb The reason we charge separately for these items is because they require washing and drying to be separated from the rest of your order. Comforters in particular take several hours to dry on air-only setting, which is why it’s an industry standard to charge them at a higher rate. If your Wash & Fold order does not contain larger specialty items it is charged by weight.


What type of detergent can I choose from?


While we cannot guarantee a specific brand, you can select the general type of detergent you would like.

We accept orders under the minimum 15 lbs or 30 lbs for pickup and delivery but those orders will be subject to a fee that reflects the difference.
