Product care for OLAVOGA and SIKSILK

This guide focuses mainly on clothing and textile accessories. For footwear, use the separate guide: how to look after your OLAVOGA shoes.

Key rules in short

• Read the care label before the first wash and before using a dryer or iron.
• Sort colours: light with light, dark with dark, strong colours separately.
• Wash inside out, especially items with prints, appliqués, embroidery and logos.
• Do not use excessive heat, as high temperature can shrink, fade or deform the fabric.
• Avoid bleach and harsh detergents unless the manufacturer allows them.
• Dry naturally; knitwear is best dried flat after gently reshaping it.
• Iron carefully, preferably inside out and according to the care label.

How to read care labels and symbols

The care label is the instruction manual for a specific garment. It tells you the permitted washing temperature, whether the item can be ironed, tumble-dried, dry-cleaned or bleached. With premium casual clothing, these symbols should be treated as the basis of care, not as a loose suggestion.

For OLAVOGA and SIKSILK products, fabric composition and temperature limits matter especially. Cotton, elastane blends, technical fabrics, structured materials and garments with prints or appliqués can all require different care.

Washing clothing: temperature, colour and detergent

The safest approach is to wash each item according to the care label. If the product requires a low temperature, a delicate cycle or hand washing, it is best to follow that instruction. Stretch fabrics, prints, embroidery, appliqués and dark colours usually respond better to gentle programmes and washing inside out.

Light colours

Wash separately or with similar colours. Avoid mixing them with new, intensely dyed clothing, as some dyes may transfer to lighter fabrics.

Dark colours

Wash inside out, at a lower temperature and with detergent for dark fabrics. This helps reduce fading in black, graphite, navy and strong shades.

Prints, embroidery and logos

Wash garments with prints, appliqués, embroidery and logos inside out. Avoid strong spinning, high temperatures and ironing directly over decoration.

Elastane and fitted pieces

Leggings, tops, bodysuits and fitted pieces containing elastane should be washed gently. Excessive heat and aggressive spinning can weaken fabric elasticity.

Drying clothes without losing shape

Drying has a major impact on the shape of a garment. Many products are best dried naturally, away from direct heat. Strong heating, tumble drying when the label does not allow it, or hanging heavy wet knitwear can cause stretching or deformation.

• Dry sweaters and knitwear flat after gently reshaping them.
• Dry garments with prints and appliqués inside out.
• Do not dry clothing directly on a radiator.
• Do not expose strong colours to long, harsh sunlight while drying.
• Do not hang heavy wet garments in a way that makes the fabric stretch under its own weight.

Ironing and steaming

Ironing should be matched to the fabric. Too much heat can leave marks, create shine, damage a print or deform fibres. The safest method is to iron inside out, through a thin protective cloth and according to the care label.

Do not iron directly over prints, embroidery, appliqués or logo details. If the product can be refreshed with steam, use it carefully and from an appropriate distance. Be especially careful with delicate, stretchy and textured fabrics.

How to care for specific product types

Sweatshirts, joggers and sets

Wash inside out, with similar colours and without using too much detergent. For sets, it is best to wash the top and bottom together or in similar cycles to reduce shade differences over time.

Sweaters and knitwear

Choose delicate programmes, low temperatures and mild detergents. Do not wring knitwear after washing. Dry flat and reshape before it dries.

Denim and dark trousers

Wash inside out, separately or with similar colours. New, intensely dyed denim may release colour, so avoid washing it with light clothing.

Underwear, bodysuits and tops

Wash underwear and delicate items in a protective laundry bag, preferably with similar colours. Avoid high temperatures, aggressive spinning and products that can weaken elasticity.

Jackets, coats and vests

Always check the label before washing. Some outerwear requires specialist cleaning or a very gentle programme. Do not automatically wash it like a basic cotton sweatshirt.

Products with appliqués

Decorative elements, embroidery, metal details and appliqués require gentler handling. Wash inside out, avoid friction and do not iron directly over decorations.

Storing clothing

Care does not end after washing. Clothing should be stored clean, dry and arranged so that it does not lose shape. Blazers, coats and jackets are best kept on suitable hangers. Sweaters and heavier knitwear are better folded, because long hanging can stretch them.

Before storing seasonal clothing, make sure it is fully dry and clean. Putting damp garments into a wardrobe can affect smell, fabric structure and overall product condition.
