So after spending approximately 17 hours* ironing and barely having three outfits to show for it, I'm a little fed up with my scrubs.
I buy boring Scrub Wear brand scrubs from Uniform City because they have the kinds of pockets that I like and I can mix and match colors depending on my mood and what sports team I want to resemble on any given day. But when I wash them they always come out with permawrinkles - especially the pants. And it doesn't matter how quickly I get to them after the dryer is done (although admittedly tonight I let the scrubs stay in the dryer for a couple** of hours), I still get multiple creases all the way down the legs of my pants and scrub tops that look a lot like the floor of my living room after Christmas morning. Interestingly, though, the level of wrinkleyosity (made up word of the day) seems to be linked to the color of the scrubs. Seriously. The black scrubs are fairly easy to iron and the wrinkles come out like buttah, the dark blue is a little harder, the maroon gets difficult, and the light blue scrubs require exercises in voodoo magic and several small animal sacrifices to become wearable. Don't ask me why.
So to all the experts out there, what can I do? Is there some type of detergent or dryer sheet that works magic to avoid the wrinkles? Is there a pre-treatment that I can use before washing them? Am I just totally screwed and should just follow the "suck it up loser" solution? Those who don't seem to have any wrinklage problems, what do you do to get no wrinklation?
The big problem here is that my religion does not allow me to stand on my feet while holding an iron for longer than 54 minutes at a time*** and so I am very limited in how much ironing I can do. I need your help!
* okay, so it might have been more like 54 minutes or something. Big deal.
** okay, so it was more like 70 hours. Whatever.
*** okay, so it isn't against my religion, but I'm thinking of bringing it up as an idea to work into the next canon.
