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.

Building a Versatile Scrub Wardrobe

At Hero Scrubs, we recommend:

  • Core Colours:
    Invest in a premium navy or black set for a classic, professional look.

  • Statement Prints:
    Add 2–3 printed tops or sets to express your personality and keep your wardrobe fresh.

  • Mix & Match:
    Our scrubs are sold as separates, allowing you to choose different sizes for tops and bottoms and mix colours and prints effortlessly.

Quality Over Quantity

Hero Scrubs are crafted from performance-grade, moisture-wicking and wrinkle-resistant fabric, ensuring durability and comfort. With proper care - washing in cold water and tumble drying on low heat - our scrubs maintain their quality over time.
