There are quite a few options to consider when choosing the best fabrics for your scrubs. Different kinds of fabric will bring different benefits, so it’s important to know the differences and pick one that will help you feel comfortable through your day.
At Sishuo Textile, we have several scrub fabrics, which all have their specific pros. Our SoftScrubs™ collection, for instance, is made from polyester fabrics, which are heavy-duty and don’t wrinkle or shrink if you’re constantly on-the-go as a healthcare worker. Our cotton waffle fabrics are breathable and soft, and allow you to move around comfortably for many hours. LiteDry™ If you need fabrics that help keep you dry, our LiteDry™ scrubs are created with unique materials that help cool and refresh you all shift long.
Consider the weather and what your work requires in when selecting scrubs fabrics. If you work in a warm place then choose a breathable fabric like cotton to be able to stay cool. For cooler climates, polyester blends can be warming. The right fabric combination means you can be more comfortable and can concentrate on helping your patients.
Taking proper care of your scrubs will ensure they last a long time and look good. At Sishuo Textile, we recommend washing your scrubs in cold wash water and using a mild soap that is not harsh chemical because harsh chemicals can damage the fabric. And it’s best to dry your scrubs on a low heat setting, or air dry them, to prevent shrinking and fading. If you thought your scrobs had to look tarnished- think again!
Breathable and moisture-wicking material is essential in health clothing to keep you cool and dry. Our LiteDry™ scrubs are also made to wick sweat away from your skin so the last thing you will feel is sticky. Opting for scrubs with these characteristics allows you to easily concentrate on your work without having to worry about feeling self-conscious. Airflow fabric breathes and humidity escapes, to keep you comfortable all day.
At Sishuo Textile, we love our planet earth so we provide sustainable alternatives in textured scrub fabrics! Our EcoSoft™ line of tissue products are made with 100% recycled supportive materials and contain a minimum of 20% post-consumer recycled fiber, contributing to your green procurement requirements.
