When we buy a new pair of scrubs we love the color, and how new and great they look. We wish they could look that way forever, then we come to the slow realization that they are new, and that is why they look so awsome... So how can you keep that color from fading out of your scrubs and have them look great for the long haul? Here are 5 tips on keeping the color from fading out of your scrubs, or for any clothes really.
- After you purchase your scrubs, before you wear them for the first time wash them on cold with half a cup of vinegar for a small load, and a whole cup for a large load. This will help preserve the color and prevent fading. Only wash the new pair of scrubs in this laundry load. This helps the life of your scrubs, will make them last longer, and sets the color into your scrubs for minimal fading.
- Turn your scrubs inside out when you wash them. This will help preserve their color and wont let the washing machine be so rough on the outside of your scrubs. They will still get washed just as good, but will preserve color in the process.
- Check the tag for washing instructions. Surprisingly most of us don't do that, but those instructions will help you wash your scrubs properly, and preserve their life. Make sure to only wash your scrubs with your other scrubs, and try to keep whites with whites and color with color.
- Wash with small loads. This will help with keeping the color and the consistency of your fabric. When you wash very large loads the washing machine is a lot rougher on your clothing, so when you make the it a small or medium load the machine will be much gentler on them.
- Take your clothes out of the dreyer early. Drying your scrubs is a good way to make the color fade especially on high heat, so only dry them for about half the time, then take them out and hang them. This will especially help preserve the color.
