  • This is The Guardian.

  • Hi, I'm Jonathan Fields from Good Life Project in paid partnership with Rinse.

  • So I think a lot about what it actually takes to build a good life,

  • and honestly, some of it comes down to what you stop spending your time on.

  • Laundry is one of those things.

  • It's necessary, it's never-ending, and it rarely connects to anything you actually care about.

  • Rinse picks up your clothes, cleans them exactly to your preferences,

  • and delivers them back ready to wear so that time and attention can go towards your passions,

  • your people, your community, whatever it is that actually moves you forward.

  • It's reliable, it's consistent, and it's built for real life.

  • The kids really love that playhouse, huh?

  • Yeah, it's not just a child's playhouse.

  • It's a rental property.

  • Kids, off Gary's roof.

  • Someone lives in there?

  • Lives, works, and thrives.

  • Your Wi-Fi reaches all the way to the playhouse?

  • We're gagillionaires.
