* Per-bag equivalent math: Rinse's own public pricing — "as low as $59/bag" at their advertised "as low as $1.64/lb" floor — implies about 35 lbs of laundry per Rinse bag ($59 ÷ $1.64 ≈ 35). We use that 35-lb baseline to convert per-pound competitor rates to a comparable per-bag number. A Tumble bag actually holds up to 60 lbs, so for a full Tumble bag the savings are even larger.
