Cleaning Your Medical Apparel
When it comes to cleaning or laundering medical apparel, there are two popular modes of thought: home wash or industrial wash. Both have their benefits, and choosing which is right for your medical apparel, scrubs, lab coats, nursing uniforms, and more is usually a matter of personal opinion.If your facility or establishment requires you to allow the institute to launder your work wear, you are in luck! The guess work is taken out of the process saving you a lot of time and hassles.
However, if you launder your medical apparel at home, keep these tips in mind.
-- Keep home laundry and medical apparel separate before, during, and after laundering. You will not want to bring those contaminants into your home environment which means never mix home laundry and medical apparel. Wash separately, dry separately, and store separately.
-- Keep medical apparel in a secure location. You will not want your medical apparel to attract allergens, cigarette smoke, or pet dander. This means you can even go as far as purchase some of those dry cleaning bags and place those over your work wear for safety purposes.
-- Use a high quality detergent. While many people will fit cheap laundry detergent into their budget a lot easier, you will want to ensure that you use a high quality detergent that does not clamp for your medical apparel. Personally, I suggest a high quality liquid detergent.
-- Watch the customization. Many medical uniforms will have customization. You will want to ensure that you safeguard that customization. This is easily accomplished by turning the garment inside out. Of course, you can also place clear tape over the back of the customization to protect the thread.
