What do you wash your scrubs with?

Just wondering. I have been washing mine in whatever laundry detergent I have either on warm or hot. Not all detergents contain bleach though and I'm worried because I took care of someone with c. diff the other day. I wore gloves, gown and washed my hands plenty. I really don't want to bring that little bugger home! I'm planning on getting some detergent with bleach and keeping it on hand for all of my work clothes from now on. :wink2:

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.
