Short answer. Yes. It coats stretch, holds odor, and makes moisture sit in the cloth. Performance medical scrubs do not want a dryer-sheet film.
What to use instead
Enzyme detergent. Optional vinegar rinse if your machine is musty. Wool balls if you need air in the dryer — not fragrance sheets.
Why the set started to smell
Often softener plus damp tote, not ‘the hospital.’ Fix the laundry, then judge the fabric.
