Unless you wear white, bleach will ruin your scrubs and fade them to Kingdom come.

Understand that clothing is not skin...c-diff survives (in small numbers) from washing at low temperatures, such as cold water.

Warm or hot should do the trick.

Sorry I meant to say detergents that contain color safe bleach. To the poster who strips down and bags your clothes for laundry day, I strip down too upon entry and throw my clothes in the wash and jump in the shower. I just love feeling clean and relaxed after a long shift.

I wear OR scrubs that go into the scrub machine dirty and come out of the scrub machine clean - love it!

I wash my scrubs in whatever detergent that we have, on regular settings, and with my other clothes.

The last time I had a pt with Cdiff or MRSA, I didn't find out until several days later.

Sometimes people get hysterical when it comes to germs.
