Is The Color In Your Scrubs Fading? Here's Some Helpful Tips

Most clothes won’t stay vibrant and colorful forever, including your scrubs unfortunately. If you picked out a pair of scrubs because of their color, then you may find yourself disappointed when that does happen, even if you expected it. But with the right method of drying your scrubs, fading can be largely avoided! Today, we here at Blue Sky Scrubs have decided to share a list of helpful tips to avoid letting your clothes fade. If you follow these carefully, your medical scrubs will stay vibrant and colorful for a lot longer!

No Fabric Softeners

There’s one thing about fabric softeners that the manufacturers don’t want you to know; they can actually cause your clothes, including scrubs, to fade in color more quickly. If you’ve been using fabric softeners to avoid static when removing your clothes from the dryer, try using static-relieving balls instead!

Avoid Machine Drying

Putting your clothes, including scrubs, in the machine dryer is the number one way to make them lose their color. To keep some color in your scrubs, try press drying them! You may not have used a hot iron in years (or ever!) but go ahead and give it a try! You’ll be pleased with how vibrant your scrubs will be, and they’ll be crisp, warm and wrinkle-free when you put them on.

There’s another type of drying you can try that will bring your scrubs the best results; line drying! As long as you can find the time it takes to hang up a clothesline near a window or out in the sun, line-drying will keep your scrubs looking great and feeling crisp and professional!
