At Medco, we take immense pride in the quality of our uniforms and scrubs, ensuring they meet the highest standards in both design and material.
You will find care instructions on your garment tag, but to maintain the exceptional quality of your Medco uniform, here’s a comprehensive care guide.
Essential care instructions
Avoid bleach: Please refrain from using bleach on our uniforms. Instead, opt for your preferred laundry detergent or a non-chlorine bleach for cleaning.
Washing guidelines
• Always wash your Medco uniform with similar colours to prevent colour bleeding. Avoid mixing whites with coloured garments.
• Refer to the garment care tag for the recommended washing temperature to extend the life of your uniform.
Washing tips
• Consider adding a teaspoon of white vinegar to your laundry water before detergent and clothing. Vinegar disinfects and prevents colour bleeding when handwashing.
• Sort clothing into categories for washing. Dark colours like navy and black can be washed together, while whites should be separate. Similarly, reds and pinks should have their category.
Care while washing
• Use the delicate cycle for washing to preserve the quality of your Medco uniform.
• Apply a stain remover before washing to combat stains effectively.
Additional care tips
• Turn your uniform inside out before washing to prevent colour fading and protect the fabric.
• For the first two washes, choose the lowest heat setting if you’re using a dryer.
• Opt for line drying or flat drying when possible for a gentle drying experience.
