Care Guide
Care Guide
Your AMIVO garment is crafted from some of the finest fabrics in the world. With the right care, it will retain its softness, shape, and colour for years to come. Follow these guidelines to get the most out of every piece.
General Care Principles
Regardless of the fabric, these golden rules apply to all AMIVO garments:
- Always check the care label inside your garment before washing.
- Wash inside out to protect the outer surface and preserve colour.
- Separate colours — wash darks with darks and lights with lights.
- Avoid overloading the washing machine to allow garments to move freely.
- Never use bleach — it weakens fibres and damages colour.
Polo T-Shirts – Supima Piqué
Supima Piqué is a structured, textured fabric that requires gentle handling to maintain its distinctive weave and shape.
| Care Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| Washing | Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle |
| Detergent | Use a mild, colour-safe detergent |
| Bleach | Do not bleach |
| Drying | Air dry flat to maintain shape; avoid tumble drying |
| Ironing | Iron on low heat if needed; avoid ironing the collar directly |
| Dry Cleaning | Not required; not recommended |
Pro Tip: Lay your polo flat to dry rather than hanging it — this prevents the shoulders from stretching and keeps the collar crisp.
Oversized T-Shirts – Supima Interlock
Supima Interlock is a dense, double-knit fabric with a luxurious drape. It is durable but benefits from gentle care to preserve its smooth finish.
| Care Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| Washing | Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle |
| Detergent | Use a mild detergent; avoid fabric softeners |
| Bleach | Do not bleach |
| Drying | Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat |
| Ironing | Iron on medium heat; steam ironing recommended |
| Dry Cleaning | Not required |
Pro Tip: Avoid fabric softeners with Interlock — they can reduce the fabric's natural breathability and alter its smooth texture over time.
Oversized T-Shirts – Supima Single Jersey
Supima Single Jersey is lightweight and fluid. It is the most delicate of our fabrics and rewards gentle handling.
| Care Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| Washing | Machine wash cold (30°C) on a delicate cycle |
| Detergent | Use a gentle, pH-neutral detergent |
| Bleach | Do not bleach |
| Drying | Air dry flat; avoid tumble drying to prevent shrinkage |
| Ironing | Iron on low heat; use a pressing cloth for best results |
| Dry Cleaning | Not required |
Pro Tip: Single Jersey can be prone to slight shrinkage if exposed to high heat. Always air dry flat to maintain the relaxed, oversized fit.
Crew Neck T-Shirts – Supima Cotton
100% Supima Cotton is one of the most durable and easy-care premium fabrics available. It gets softer with every wash when cared for correctly.
| Care Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| Washing | Machine wash cold (30°C) on a normal or gentle cycle |
| Detergent | Use a mild, colour-safe detergent |
| Bleach | Do not bleach |
| Drying | Tumble dry on low heat or air dry |
| Ironing | Iron on medium heat as needed |
| Dry Cleaning | Not required |
Pro Tip: Supima Cotton becomes even softer over time with regular washing. The more you wear and wash it correctly, the better it feels.
Storage Tips
- Fold, don't hang — folding t-shirts prevents shoulder distortion and maintains the garment's shape over time.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
- Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe — give your garments room to breathe.
- Keep away from moisture to prevent mildew or odour.
A Note on Longevity
Premium fabrics like Supima Cotton are an investment. The better you care for them, the longer they last — and the better they look. At AMIVO, we design our garments to be worn for years, not seasons. Treat them well, and they will reward you.
