Spill-Proof Scrubs That Are Good for Your Body & the Planet

If you’ve ever made it through a shift without a single splash of coffee, a drop of sanitizer, or a surprise encounter with who-knows-what—first of all, congratulations. For everyone else: meet your new favorite innovation in healthcare apparel.

We’re introducing PFC-free, spill-proof scrubs designed to stand up to the daily deluge of splatters, drips, and accidental elbow dunks. The new water repellency feature is a groundbreaking technology that acts as a highly effective barrier. And the best part? It’s engineered to protect both you and the planet.

 

What Are PFCs in Healthcare Apparel?

Let’s talk about polyfluorochemicals (a mouthful, we know). Also called PFCs or “forever chemicals,” these synthetic substances are often used in water- and stain-resistant fabrics. The problem? They don’t go away. Not from the environment, and not from our bodies.

PFCs are incredibly resistant to breaking down, which is why they’ve been found in everything from arctic ice to human bloodstreams. Research has linked prolonged exposure to potential health concerns, such as increased risk of certain cancers, thyroid disease, changes in the immune system, and reproductive issues. Plus, environmental scientists have raised red flags about their persistence in ecosystems.

So we said no.

Our new spill-resistant scrubs use an innovative finish that ditches PFCs altogether. That means you get a fabric that repels liquids like a pro—without relying on harmful chemicals. It’s eco-friendly, high-performance, and exclusive to JAANUU scrubs.


What Are PFCs in Healthcare Apparel?

Healthcare professionals are on the front lines—not just of medicine, but of messes. Spills and splatters are part of the job, which is why water repellency is a must-have feature in modern medical uniforms.

But being on the go shouldn’t mean compromising your health or the planet’s. By removing PFCs from our water-repellent finish, we’re rethinking what sustainable healthcare apparel can look like. Spoiler: it looks really, really good.

Not only do these PFC-free scrubs provide protection from the unpredictable chaos of life in healthcare, but they’re also soft, breathable, and stylish. Because you shouldn’t have to choose between performance and polish.


A Quick & Not-So-Dirty Q&A

What is the new technology?

A proprietary, PFC-free finish that repels water-based liquids without compromising comfort or sustainability.

Will my scrubs feel stiff or coated?

Nope. They’re just as soft, flexible, and breathable as ever—because nobody wants to feel like they’re wearing a raincoat to rounds.

Where can I find them?

Our eco-conscious water-repellent scrubs are currently available in select styles and colors. You can shop them here.

Are they machine washable? 

Of course. Because if it’s not wash-and-wear, is it even healthcare apparel?

 

Sustainable Scrubs: Fashion Meets Function

Let’s face it—most of you didn’t sign up for healthcare because you love doing laundry. But wearing gear that’s designed to keep you dry and clean longer? That’s a win. And when it’s made without harmful chemicals? That’s a double win.

We believe performance scrubs can do more than just perform. They can protect your body, reflect your values, and lighten your environmental footprint, all without sacrificing the features you depend on.

These PFC-free medical uniforms are part of our ongoing mission to combine science-backed fabric technology with real-world demands. Because when you’re working around the clock to care for others, your apparel should be working just as hard to care for you—and the planet.
