How to Care for Your Scrub Jacket
Scrub jackets are designed for regular wear, which also means they need regular cleaning.
Proper care can help maintain the appearance, shape, and everyday performance of your jacket.
Because our scrub jackets are made primarily from polyester-based fabric, following the correct care instructions is important.
Always Check the Care Label First
Before washing your scrub jacket, check the care label inside the garment.
Care requirements can vary depending on the exact fabric blend and construction.
The garment care label should always be your primary reference.
Machine Wash According to the Care Label
For routine cleaning, follow the machine-washing instructions shown on the garment label.
Before washing, it can also help to:
- Empty all pockets
- Close zippers or fasteners
- Wash with similar colors
- Avoid overcrowding the washing machine
These simple steps can help reduce unnecessary pulling and friction during washing.
Do Not Dry Clean
One important care instruction for our scrub jackets is:
DO NOT DRY CLEAN
Our scrub jackets are not designed for dry cleaning.
Dry-cleaning processes use chemical solvents that are different from normal water-based washing, so always follow the garment care label and use the recommended washing method instead.
Be Careful With Heat
Polyester is a synthetic fiber, so excessive heat may affect the fabric or garment over time.
When drying or ironing, always follow the temperature instructions shown on the care label.
Do not automatically use the highest dryer or iron setting.
Wash Similar Colors Together
Separating light and dark garments can help maintain their appearance.
For example, darker scrub jackets such as navy or black are generally better washed with similar dark colors rather than white or very light garments.
Store Your Jacket Properly
Once your scrub jacket is clean and fully dry, store it neatly between shifts.
You can:
- Hang it in your closet
- Fold it neatly
- Keep it with your regular work uniforms
Avoid storing damp clothing, as garments should be completely dry before being put away.
Simple Care for Everyday Scrubs
Taking care of your scrub jacket doesn't need to be complicated.
Remember the key points:
Check the care label.
Wash according to instructions.
Do not dry clean.
Avoid excessive heat.
Store completely dry.
Following these simple steps can help keep your scrub jacket ready for everyday wear.
