Engineered for the long shift.

Everyday wash
The five-minute routine.
-
Empty and turn
Pockets empty, zips closed, garment inside out. This protects the face of the fabric and any embroidery.
-
Cold water
30°C / 86°F on a gentle or permanent-press cycle. Cold water protects stretch and colour.
-
Half a dose
Mild liquid detergent, about half what the bottle suggests. Too much soap leaves residue that dulls the fabric.
-
Skip the extras
No fabric softener, no bleach, no enzyme boosters. They coat the fibres or break down spandex.
-
Wash smart
Similar colours together. Avoid towels, velcro and anything with a rough zip.
New scrubs? Wash before the first wear to soften the hand-feel and settle the dye.
Wash after every clinical shift. Between non-clinical wears, airing overnight is usually enough.
Drying & ironing
Dry low — or don't dry at all.
Hang dry
Best for stretch and colour. Smooth by hand and hang in the shade; most pieces are dry overnight.
Tumble low
Short on time? Use the lowest heat setting and remove while slightly damp.
Never high heat
High heat breaks down spandex and sets stains. It is the most common reason scrubs lose their shape.
Ironing, if you must
Use the lowest setting, inside out, and never directly on embroidery or prints. Steam is fine; a pressing cloth is better.
No dry cleaning needed. If your facility requires it, ask for gentle solvent-free cleaning and skip the press.
Do & don't
The short version.
Do
- Wash cold, inside out
- Use a mild liquid detergent
- Hang dry whenever you can
- Wash similar colours together
- Close zips before washing
- Fold rather than hang
Don't
- Use fabric softener or dryer sheets
- Bleach or soak in disinfectant
- Tumble on high heat
- Iron prints or embroidery directly
- Wash with velcro or towels
- Pull loose threads — snip them
Stain guide
Act fast, stay calm.
Treat a stain before it dries, and never put a stained garment in the dryer. Heat sets colour into the fibre permanently.
| Stain | First move | Then |
|---|---|---|
| Coffee / tea | Flush from the back with cold water | A drop of mild detergent, wash cold |
| Ink | Blot — don't rub — with isopropyl alcohol on a cotton bud | Rinse, then wash cold |
| Blood | Cold water immediately, never hot | Enzyme detergent, soak 15 minutes, wash cold |
| Makeup | Micellar water on a cotton pad, blot | Rinse, wash cold |
| Ointment / balm | Scrape off excess, cover with cornstarch for 10 minutes | Brush off, wash cold with detergent |
If the stain remains, air dry and repeat rather than ironing or tumble drying. A second wash is always safer than heat.
Longevity
Keeping the stretch.
- Rotate. Three or four pairs in rotation wear far better than one pair washed every night.
- Don't overload. A crowded drum rubs fabric against zips and creates pilling.
- Fold, don't hang. Hangers stretch the shoulders and waistband over time.
- Trim, don't pull. Snip loose threads with sharp scissors; pulling tightens the weave.
- De-pill gently. A fabric shaver on the lowest setting, on a flat surface, revives brushed knits.
- Watch the bleach. Benzoyl peroxide and some sunscreens can lighten collars — rinse after contact.
Disinfectants and wipes
Follow your facility's protocol first. Hospital-grade wipes can dull colour and degrade stretch fibres with repeated contact; rinse any residue before washing and never soak garments in bleach or disinfectant.
