Re: "Rinse free" - I don't get it

Water from your washing machine is discharged into the sanitary sewer and heads off to a treatment plant before it's discharged back into a river/lake/stream. Water that goes into the storm drains typically isn't treated before it's returned to a natural source (again, lake/river/stream/etc.)
