Short answer. Medical scrubs help when they are changed and washed. The garment is not magic. A dirty set worn two days in a row is just another fomite with pockets.
What the evidence actually supports
Dedicated work clothing plus laundry is the point: you do not wear last night’s floor into today’s rooms. Facility-issued OR attire is a tighter protocol. Floor medical scrubs still need a wash after every shift.
A practical rule
One shift, one wash. Do not steam a clinical day and call it clean.
