What is the Best Way to Wash Scrubs?

To help your scrubs stay clean, comfortable, and in great condition, follow these simple care tips:

1. Wash scrubs in cold water to help prevent fading and shrinkage.

2. Turn them inside out before washing to protect the color and reduce wear on the outer fabric.

3. Use a mild detergent to avoid fabric damage and skin irritation.

4. Add a small amount of white vinegar to help control odors and naturally soften the fabric.

5. Wash scrubs separately from everyday clothing or with similar colors.

6. Avoid overloading the washing machine so your scrubs can be cleaned thoroughly.

7. Use oxygen-based bleach for deeper cleaning when the fabric care label allows it.

8. Select an extra rinse cycle to remove any remaining detergent residue.

9. Use fabric softener sparingly, as too much can affect breathability and moisture-wicking performance.

10. Dry scrubs according to the care label to help protect the fabric, fit, and overall quality.
