starch?

I purchased my uniforms for my nursing program and was wondering if it was ok to use starch on them. I found a starch at the store that helps repel stains, but my husband said that you cannot starch uniforms. (his ex is a nurse).

So, do you starch your scrubs? If not allowed, why?

The main reason for me wanting to starch them is to keep stains down. We have to wear white scrubs (yikes) and I am a stain-a-phobe..ok, I know that isn't a word but it works! My husband said he used to starch and iron his ex's scrubs and she told him that it was against policy to use starch. Just thought maybe it was a germ thing.

If its stains you are worried about, get the Rit White Wash. Its in a small box (like the size of a deck of cards) and I find it at walmart in the laundry section. Its a powder for whites only that goes into the washing machine with them, and it really keeps the whites bright and helps a lot with stains. Plus pre-treat ink, stains etc with oxy-clean spray.

Starch really seems to be best for just keeping the fabric crisp, but not necessarily stain-free, in my experience.
