scotchguarding or treating fabric with stain repellent

[Kitty Hawk, ADN, RN]

Anyone know if scotchguard or some other method would protect a 100 percent cotton scrub top?

I know what you're thinking :) as I thought it too! But really I thought any nursing scrub would naturally be treated with some sort of stain release.

I had good success getting fake blood (from our SON disaster drill) but that was a different fabric but still need treated several times with oxy clean in a pot of near boiling water! So now that I'm in the "real world of nursing" I don't know about some of the potential stains I could encounter.

This is a Koi Halle top, which really has beautiful embroidery so I don't want to send it back and it has a scrub look so I wouldn't wear it on my time. I really can't believe Koi would make a top made from 100 pct cotton:confused: and no protectant, maybe they thought only the nurses that still have to wear white but deal with books not the patients would order it

Any help from someone who owns this...or tips in general are appreciated.
