To all our friends in the health sector, including those in the spa sector or those who just like to exercise please view the post on 5 ways to care for your scrubs. We hope this will help you to stay healthy.

`5 WAYS TO PRESERVE YOUR SCRUBS
Health professionals throughout the world use scrubs. Nurses, doctors, practical nurses and even gym enthusiasts wear them regularly. This article is intended mainly for health professionals who are concerned about protecting the health of their patients, as well as themselves and their families.
Most scrubs in Jamaica at least are made from 65% Dacron/35% cotton or 100% cotton. In some instances a bit of lycra or viscose (stretch fabrics) is added to the almost 100% cotton. This gives a sleeker more fashionable fit to the body.
We are here however concerned with the ways that your scrubs can be preserved even for a few years. Here are 5 of them.
1. Avoid washing in hot water as this reinforces the stains in the garments. Turn your garments inside out and for the cotton blends (65/35) use warm water and for the cotton fabrics you may use cold water. Please, please hang them in a dry cool place in order to preserve the colours. Use heavy duty detergents. Use chlorine bleach on white cotton scrubs and of course rinse first with water and never pour directly on clothes.
2. Medical scrubs are exposed to stains and bacteria. A cup of vinegar added along with chlorine bleach, pine oil (for non-cotton coloured scrubs) and phenolic disinfectants should do the trick. In cases of vomit and faecal matter on the clothes I would strongly advise using disposable gloves. I urge you to remove your scrubs at work, place them in a separate plastic bag. Keep them away from your face and immediately wash them. After washing and drying place them in separate plastic bags or in a dedicated drawer away from other clothes.
3. Where blood, or for that matter vomit, urine and faeces is on the scrubs please flush with cold water and use your heavy duty laundry detergent which has enzymes to break down the stains. Leave the detergent in there for (10) ten minutes then wash as usual.
4. Solid matter or ointments can be removed by using a tongue depressor or disposable spoon. In this case you may consider using hot water.
5. For liquid meds such as Iodine mix one (1) tablespoon of liquid dishwashing detergent with two (2) cups of cool water. Use a clean white cloth, sponge the stain with the detergent solution. Blot until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat.
Please stay safe and clean.
I do hope this information helps. Here is an example of one of our scrubs.

This information was sourced partly from our own experience but I am greatly indebted to Mary Marlowe Leverette’s excellent article “How to wear and care for medical scrubs.’ in the Spruce.

Hi at this time with the Corona Virus we need to stay strong and work together in overcoming this crisis. It is temporary but will have medium and long term effects on the way we interact with each other and do business.
I really hope that coming out of this we will have a more caring society and world. But let's ask ourselves a few questions: 1) can we earn money online working from home? Can families come up with work projects that can generate an income? I would appreciate your thoughts on this and more!

Recently I had the honest to goodness pleasure to listen to a speech at a Toastmaster's Club entitled 'Don't just win' The speaker stated that life is not just about winning the match or the contract or earning more money but about the 'value' we can and should add to our relationships not only with our customers but with our families most importantly.
In my own discussions about sales it is often empathized that the sale is often 'won' on the value we can bring to our customers.Often a caring attitude, the desire to just listen oft brings unexpected results for as we listen we understand and can advise others on the best path to take.
