Let’s face it- your scrubs are going to get dirty, and disinfecting them is crucial to keeping you and your family safe and healthy. It’s best to change out of your dirty scrubs before heading home or going out in public.
If you do wear them home, keep them separate from your everyday laundry. Designate a hamper just for your scrubs so that you can disinfect and wash them together. Run the washer for 2 cycles, checking the scrubs after the first cycle to see if any stains remain. If they do, treat them before running the next cycle. Clean, disinfected scrubs will keep you, your family, and your patients safer and healthier.
