A Few Tips To Keep Your Colorful Medical Scrubs From Fading

Medical Scrubs

Medical scrubs often have bright, vibrant colors, at least when you first buy them. You probably want to keep those gorgeous colors in your scrubs. Here at Blue Sky Scrubs, we want you to look and feel your very when you head into the medical workplace, so we have some valuable tips for how you can prevent your scrubs from fading in the dryer and keep those vibrant colors for years to come.

What Causes Fading?

A few trips through the machine dryer is all it takes to cause scrubs to fade. Needless to say, the dryer isn’t best for your scrubs. Abrasion may also occur when clothes rub against each other in the dryer, breaking threads and fading colors even more. If you love the way your medical scrubs look, you probably want to keep them looking that way. There’s got to be a better way to dry them than just a machine dryer.

Try Line Drying

Despite what you may think, line drying can be easy, and it can help maintain those vibrant pigments in your scrubs and other clothes. You’ve probably seen the process before; just hang a rope up in a secluded room somewhere, or outside in a backyard or on a balcony, and pin your clothes up on the rope to let the circulating air and sunlight do all the rest of the work! When you think about it, it really isn’t much work, and you’ll thank yourself for it when the color in your scrubs lasts for  years.

At Blue Sky Scrubs, we always try to provide not only the best scrubs that you can find, but also the right information to help you take great care of your new medical apparel. So once you bought your brand new, super comfy set of Blue Sky Scrubs, remember to dry your scrubs the right way to keep the bright colors you love.
