Participated · Seed · Aug 2026
WashWise builds products for "between-wear" clothing care and has launched its debut product, Reset Spray, designed to refresh, de-wrinkle, deodorize, and lightly cleanse garments between washes. The company markets Reset Spray in two scents—Cotton Cooldown and Verde Rise—sold in 6oz and travel sizes with a $29 MSRP for the 6oz bottle. The formula is described as skin-safe, plant-derived, non-toxic, and packaged using bag-on-valve technology. WashWise claims one 6oz bottle can save up to $300 in dry cleaning costs, about six hours of laundry time, 110 gallons of water, and 16 kWh of electricity over its use. Founded by Maria Cabral Menezes, the company is using proceeds from its $1.2 million pre-seed SAFE to accelerate product development, expand partnerships, grow its team, and build category awareness.
