For nurses and other medical professionals who wear scrubs on a regular basis, dry-cleaning is a convenient way to get their medical scrubs and uniform clean.

Unfortunately, dry cleaning is bad for the environment because it relied on the use of certain toxic chemicals that are not only rinsed down the drain with water, but also come into contact with your skin when you wear the dry-cleaned clothing. When nurses and other medical professionals face the variety of cleaning options for their scrubs and lab coats, a lot of them seek green cleaning options that are environmentally friendly.

A better option than the dry cleaner would be to machine wash in cold water with a gentle and environmentally friendly detergent such as Seventh Generation, and tumble dry on low heat. The best option would be to hand wash with a gentle and environmentally friendly detergent in cold water; and then allow them to air dry.

We also suggest 100% cotton scrubs over polyester blends, and you can find custom-made scrubs with a variety of prints at Blue Sky Scrubs. They have a variety of lab coats and scrubs for men and women, and you can find the section with scrubs for women here:
