How Many Scrub Sets Do I Really Need? A Minimalist’s Guide

The Short Answer: It Depends on Your Schedule

Determining the ideal number of scrub sets depends on your roster, laundry habits and personal preferences. Here's a general guideline:

• Full-Time (5 shifts per week):
  Aim for 6–7 sets. This allows for a fresh set each day, with a couple of extras for unexpected spills or laundry delays.

• Part-Time or Casual (2–3 shifts per week):
  3–4 sets should suffice, ensuring you have enough between laundry days.

• Beauty & Wellness Professionals (1–3 shifts per week):
  2–3 sets are typically adequate, especially if your work environment is less intensive.
  
  

Laundry Frequency Matters

If you prefer doing laundry once a week, having enough scrubs to last between washes is essential. Or if you can't stand a big washing basket and are doing daily washing, you might manage with fewer sets.
