Question Scrubs

I dont know about everyone else but I have the hardest time keeping wrinkles out of my scrubs. Does anyone know of scrubs that stay wrinkle free or an easier way to keep the wrinkles out??

Thanks

Re: Scrubs

I take mine from the dryer when still just the slightest bit damp. I try to "iron out" the creases with my hands, then put them on a hanger. I try to always purchase a cotton/poly blend. They seem to be more wrinkle free. I have a few tops that are 100% cotton, I never wear them anymore, just don't have the desire to iron them.

This is what I do; it works well. I HATE to iron.

Re: Scrubs

Back when wearing scrubs was new and 'fun' (LOL), I loved ironing them... that quickly got old after a few 12-hour shifts! Between mine and my husband's, we go through a dozen sets a week (he has to change often -- so messy!). I am always careful to buy high quality (my faves are Landaus), which seem to have less wrinkles to begin with, and when I wash them, I promptly remove them from the washer and hang them on hangers to dry in my room. I have a canopy-like thing on my bed, which gives me a nice cross-bar, and turn on the ceiling fan. The pants I hang cuff-first (upside down) from pants-hangers so that the added weight of the waistband will help pull out the wrinkles (this works with ANY pants, by the way -- I always hang them upside-down). The wrinkles hang out of them, plus it freshens the air when the fan blows the air through the damp scrubs. Yummy!

Re: Scrubs

I prefer silky scrubs. They really feel like silk pj's and do not wrinkle. You can find them at uniformcity.

Re: Scrubs

Using a fabric softner and just putting them into the dryer for about 10-15 minutes then hanging really helps. Smooth them with your hands like the above posters mentioned. If you like a crease you can fold them neatly and hang them from the hanger to dry.

I not only hate to iron, but as a traveler I refuse to bring an iron/board with me. In addition to what has been posted here, try this:

This stuff really works!

Re: Scrubs

I am unable to iron. I end up with more wrinkles than I started with. So, I have a wrinkle free setting on my washing machine that I use then I dry them on low and hang them immediately when they are done. Zero wrinkles and no evil ironing.
