Nurses uniforms have not been washed at the hospital for donkey's years. I started 21 years ago and they didn't wash them then, we had to do our own. The only thing that they would wash was the hats. I used to send mine for washing and starching but they repeatedly came back to me with dirty marks on, I even had a footprint on one of my hats at one point, so I refused to send them to laundry again and started washing and starching my own.
The laundry is no longer big enough to do uniforms (Nette will confirm this). The new uniforms are to be washed at 60 degrees at home, rather than 40 degrees.
Margaret, I think that when they took the Gaberdines off us, it became more obvious that people wore uniform outside. At least the uniform was completely covered with a Gaberdine.
