Follow these expert steps to keep your scrubs hygienic, long-lasting and looking their best - wash after every shift using HSE-recommended best practices.

1

Prep Before Washing

  • Empty all pockets
  • Turn scrubs inside out
  • Separate whites, darks and colours
  • Treat stains as soon as possible
2

Wash

  • Use a good-quality detergent
  • Don't overload the washing machine
  • Wash workwear separately where possible
  • Always check the garment care label
3

Dry

  • Remove scrubs promptly after washing
  • Air dry where possible
  • Tumble dry on a low setting
  • Avoid high heat or over-drying
4

Iron & Store

  • Follow the ironing temperature on the care label
  • Don't iron directly over logos or branding
  • Make sure scrubs are completely dry
  • Fold or hang in a clean, dry place

Get the Temperature Right

Always check the care label first. Washing above the recommended temperature can cause shrinkage, particularly with polyester-cotton blends.
