At SCRBS, we understand that healthcare professionals need more than just comfort, they need medical scrubs that remain sharp, clean, and reliable through every shift. Founded by doctors, SCRBS is built on the belief that great scrubs make a difference – in how you feel and how you’re perceived. Whether you’re in a hospital, clinic, surgery, or vet practice, here’s how to keep your scrub uniform sets looking as fresh and professional as the day you bought them.

How to Keep Your Medical Scrubs Looking Fresh

1. Wash With Care – Follow the Label

Your doctor scrubs, nurse scrubs, or dentist scrubs go through a lot. To maximise their lifespan, always wash in cold or warm water to prevent fading and shrinkage. Use mild detergents and avoid bleach, which can break down the fabric and dull the vibrant navy or black colours we’re known for.

Pro tip: Turn your scrubs inside out before washing. This helps protect the outer fabric and keep colours looking richer for longer.

2. Avoid Over-Drying

Tumble drying is fine on a low setting, but air drying is even better. Overheating can damage fibres and reduce the life of even the most premium womens scrubs uniforms. Hanging your scrubs up immediately after drying also reduces wrinkles and the need for ironing.

3. Treat Stains Immediately

From ink to iodine, healthcare work gets messy. Dab – don’t rub – fresh stains with a mix of water and gentle soap as soon as possible. For stubborn marks, pre-soak before washing. The sooner you act, the better your scrubs will look.

4. Rotate Your Sets

Having multiple sets of  scrubs allows you to rotate regularly, reducing wear and extending the life of each set. Whether you wear vet scrubs in a busy practice or nurse scrubs during back-to-back shifts, rotation helps prevent overuse.

Did you know? Navy scrubs are still our top seller, with black fast becoming a favourite for its sleek, modern look.

5. Store Them Right

Hang your scrubs or fold them neatly in a clean, dry space. Avoid piling them under heavy items which can cause wrinkles. Investing in breathable garment bags can also help protect scrubs from dust between uses.
