Caring for your New Medical Scrubs

July 21, 2008

Tired of your scrubs fading and just looking dingy? It may be the type of scrubs you are buying or it may be the style in which you are washing them. To ensure a great fit and long lasting uniform, we recommend that you be selective in the quality of the fabrics as well as the style in which you launder them, so your medical scrubs last as long as possible.

We recommend that you invest your money in some high quality medical uniforms, like UA Scrubs, Butter Soft Scrubs, Landau Scrubs, Cherokee Uniforms, or Dickies Medical Scrubs. Not only are they more comfortable and stylish, but are made with some of the best fabrics in the marketplace today.

Washing your Nursing Uniforms:

Washing with care is the key to long lasting garments, so it is not recommended to use harsh or cheap detergents, because the fabric may not hold up over time. It is best to use a good quality detergent to clean your medical uniforms. It is also recommended to wash them separately from regular laundry to keep the spreading of germs to your non work clothes down to a minimum.

Rinsing your scrubs in cold is recommended to loosen any large deposits of material such as dirt, blood, or anything else that may linger in the wash cycle and make a mess of the water. Once you are finished rinsing, the garments should be then washed in hot water for about 10 minutes or so to kill bacteria as well as micro organisms. After washing, tumble dry your clothes to kill off additional germs.

If your medical uniform has an odor, simply use some vinegar. I would say ¼ to ½ cup is fine. And it is safe for the fabric. You can even use a color brightener or white wash to bring back the brilliance of the fabric, but do not use bleach because products with bleach may damage your fabric over time.

A warning here: High heat in washing and tumble drying will help to sanitize your hospital uniforms, but may also cause fading, shrinkage, and fabric loss over time. Some folks have opted to wash their medical scrubs in cold water and line dry. The choice is up to you and only you can determine what germs you may have come in contact with. Happy washing!

Your comments are important to us, so please let us know of any secrets you have come across to get your medical scrubs clean, bright, and germ free. We look forward to posting your comments.

Nursing Fashion - Through Away the Whites!

July 1, 2008

It used to be that a nurse had but one simple color & style of nursing uniforms to wear…white. Well, that was a long time ago and boy have things changed. The choices today in medical scrubs, nursing uniforms, and scrub tops are incredible.

Nurses today can wear many colors & styles of medical scrubs. From the fun seasonal prints to the fashionable bold colors, nursing uniforms offer the practitioner the freedom to be expressive, yet professional. It does not matter anymore about what size or shape you are, or if you are old or young, because medical scrubs come in such a variety these days.

For example, scrub pants today are made with elastic waists, or drawstrings that are cut to fit either high or low rise as well as offer pant legs in classic, boot, or flare cuts. They come in many colors. scrub tops come in many styles and varieties too like V-neck, round neck, button down, mock wrap, scrub jackets, and more. Whatever the fashion, there is a scrub pant or scrub top that will fit your personality.

So with all the changes in nursing scrubs these days, which ones do you choose? Well, it all depends on your own personal style and the environment you work in right? I mean, take for example theme tops. There are scrub tops nowadays that offer nurses the ability to select themes like animal scrub tops. Examples of these would be owls, skunks, butterflies, puppies, bunnies, penguins, and more. There are also print scrub tops that are made for the holidays. Holiday print scrubs examples would be Thanksgiving, Christmas, Halloween, and others. There are also seasonal scrub tops for spring, winter, fall, and summer.

The styles and varieties, it seems, are endless. So now you may ask…So what about comfort? Well, all I can say is that these are not your mother’s white Nursing Uniforms. Today’s fashions in medical scrubs are crafted using some of the best quality fabrics you can find. From butter soft Poly/Cotton blends to 100% cotton, you are going to find the choices out there in nursing uniforms will look and feel great on you.

So there you have it. Big fashion awaits your nursing career. Just remember, that what should be most important for you is to find medical scrubs in the style and look you like and that it fits the environment you work in. The choices are endless.
