🧺 Care Tips: Keep Your Scrubs Fresh During Holiday OT
Holiday shifts are no joke—long hours, back-to-back patients, and overtime. Your scrubs work as hard as you do, so give them the care they deserve. These quick, clinic-tested tips help keep colors bright, fabric comfy, and your duty fit looking fresh—even after marathon shifts.
🗓️ Daily Care Routine
- Separate by color: Darks with darks, lights with lights. Brights get their own wash to prevent transfer.
- Turn inside out: Reduces friction so colors fade slower.
- Gentle cycle, cold water: Less stress on fibers = longer life.
- Quick dry: Air-dry or low heat. High heat can shrink or dull the finish.
- Mesh bag for small items: Keep scrub caps and masks from tangling.
🧴 Fabric Protection (Keep It Strong, Keep It Soft)
Protect the fabric so it stays comfy and color-true:
- No bleach, no harsh brighteners: These can weaken fibers and cause blotchy fading.
- Mild detergent only: A small amount is enough—overdosing leaves residue that stiffens fabric.
- Skip fabric softener: It can coat fibers and reduce breathability/stretch. Use white vinegar (½ cup) in the rinse for softness if needed.
- Spot treat ASAP: Cold water + mild soap on spills. Blot, don’t rub.
🧼 Ironing & Folding (Color-Bright, Clinic-Polished)
- Low to medium heat: High heat can scorch or add shine marks.
- Steam is your friend: A quick steam refresh lifts wrinkles without flattening fibers.
- Fold along seams: Keeps shape crisp and prevents “random” creases.
- Hang right after drying: Fewer wrinkles, less ironing time.
⚡ Bonus Tip: Spray & Go! (Commuter Hacks)
- Wrinkle-release spray: Light spritz + tug = shift-ready in minutes.
- Deodorizing fabric mist: Great between shifts—choose gentle, skin-safe options.
- Locker kit: Keep a mini steamer, lint roller, and spare socks for emergencies.
