Rinse also bought NYC’s FlyCleaners.

I remember seeing the FlyCleaners vans around the city, very shiny and new at first, slowly become rather strikingly decrepit with dents, broken trim and loose bumpers.

There are lots of old school laundromats in NYC, basically all of which offer drop-off wash and fold service by the pound, many with free pickup and delivery. FlyCleaners was not at all competitive with the ones in my neighborhood at the time.

I recently moved to SF and my building does not have laundry, so I used the nearby laundromat. Day one, was attacked by a homeless guy who essentially wanted me to leave the laundromat so he could sleep (the laundromat was unstaffed, and this was a Sunday afternoon).

Rinse has honestly come in clutch, and they do a really good job at what they do. The only issue is the cost... $40 - $60 for 1 bag of laundry.
