OLIO Care Guide

Wear. Wash. Repeat.

Welcome to OLIO. Our boxer shorts and socks are designed for everyday comfort, durability, and style. To keep your OLIO products in the best condition for as long as possible, follow these simple care instructions.

Washing Instructions

Temperature

  • Wash at 30–40°C (86–104°F)

  • Use gentle or normal wash cycle

  • Avoid hot water to prevent fabric damage

Detergent

  • Use mild, regular laundry detergent

  • Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals

  • Do not use fabric softeners regularly (they can reduce elasticity)

Loading

  • Wash similar colors together

  • Do not overload the washing machine

  • Turn boxers inside out to protect the fabric surface

Drying Instructions

Air Drying (Recommended)

  • Air dry whenever possible to maintain fabric quality and elasticity

  • Hang or lay flat in a well-ventilated area

  • Avoid direct sunlight to prevent color fading

Tumble Drying (If Needed)

  • Use low heat setting only

  • Do not overdry

  • Remove promptly to prevent wrinkles

Storage

  • Store in a clean, dry place

  • Keep away from moisture and direct heat

  • Fold boxers neatly to maintain shape

  • Roll or stack socks to prevent stretching

What to Avoid

❌ Do not bleach – damages fabric and reduces elasticity
❌ Do not iron – not necessary and can damage materials
❌ Do not dry clean – not suitable for cotton/elastane blends
❌ Avoid high heat – can shrink or warp the fabric
❌ Do not store wet – can cause mildew or odor
