WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR TWO LINES OF HOUSEKEEPING SCRUBS?

Sable offers two lines of housekeeping scrubs, both made by WonderWink®:

  • WorkFlex scrubs are 65/35 poly/cotton blend. These scrubs feature easy-care fabric with built-in motion-stretch. They are tagless and very comfortable, with classic styling.
  • PremierFlex collection offers an upgrade fabric, an easy-care 78/20/2 poly/rayon/spandex mix. PremierFlex has ultra-soft, ultra-smooth fabric with a superior drape. Its modern fit gives a slimming silhouette. PremierFlex is priced about $2.00 above WorkFlex scrubs.
  • Both WonderWink lines offered by Sable will help your staff look & feel their best and are value-priced!
  • Other Choice Hotels vendors sell a different, more basic line of WonderWink scrubs. Their scrubs look similar but the fabric is not as smooth or soft. We encourage you to compare comfort & quality, then buy your scrubs from Sable!

I’M AN INDEPENDENT HOTEL. CAN YOU PROVIDE UNIFORMS WITH MY HOTEL LOGO?

Absolutely! In order to sew your logo onto any garment, the logo must first be digitized. Email a .JPG art file of your logo to: sales@sablehotelsupply.com. A one-time digitizing fee will apply. Digitizing fees vary based on size & design. We will provide a quote prior to digitizing. If your logo has already been digitized, please email the file and we’ll get your order going!
