Maintenance

How to Care for Your Premium Scrubs

Our fabrics are built for the rigors of healthcare, but proper care ensures they maintain their color, stretch, and antimicrobial properties for years to come.

1

Wash Cold: Use cold water (30°C) for daily washes to prevent shrinkage in cotton blends and preserve spandex elasticity.

2

Inside Out: Always turn scrubs inside out before washing to protect the outer finish and any custom embroidery.

3

Low Heat: Tumble dry on low or air-dry in the shade. High heat is the enemy of synthetic fibers and moisture-wicking coatings.
