In December of 1964, students of UC Berkeley marched on campus around Sproul Plaza to protest the university restricting their right to free speech, more specifically, speech and activity related to politics. Unfortunately, the protests turned a bit violent resulting in 796 arrests. However, this event was the start of something meaningful and shifted the culture at the time. Today, citizens of Berkeley and the country at large continue to exercise their right to free speech. #### How has Rinse served the Berkeley community? At Rinse, your health and the environment matter! That's why we take the following actions to make sure that it’s not just your clothes that are treated with care. - **Rinse is perc-free** Dry cleaning is just what it sounds like - a water-free way to clean delicate fabrics. In effect, that means dry cleaners use non-aqueous solvents to remove stains from your clothes. Rinse is committed to providing high-quality clothing care while keeping our customers and the environment safe, so we only work with green cleaning partners who never use perc. - **Rinse accepts clothing donations** We'll collect any clothing that you'd like to donate and make sure it is given to a charitable organization in your community, rather than ending up in a landfill. In Berkeley, we work with the Salvation Army to make sure the clothes you no longer want go to someone in need. - **Rinse uses less water and less energy** Our cleaning partners’ use of commercial, high-efficiency washing machines means up to 50% less water is used when compared to traditional washing machines. Additionally, cold water washing and high-speed spin cycles significantly reduce energy costs and carbon emissions. - **Rinse uses biodegradable poly bags** Rinse does use plastic to ensure your clean clothes stay clean when they're delivered to you. However, much of the plastic wrapping that Rinse uses is biodegradable, meaning it will naturally decompose without causing harm. - **Rinse Recycles Hangers** Rinse gladly pickups up any wire hangers that you no longer need and recycle them for you. ### About Berkeley customers A Quick Look At Berkeley Customers #### Who uses Rinse in Berkeley - Single People - 64.9% - Couples - 22.8% - Families - 12.2% ### Top 10 brands in Berkeley 1.
