Detailed Care Guide
Washing
Wash at a maximum of 30°C / 86°F with similar colours
Hot water breaks down elastane fibres and reduces compression performance over time. Washing with similar colours protects the finish.
Turn garments inside out
Protects the outer surface from pilling and preserves colour vibrancy.
Use a gentle / delicate cycle
Reduces mechanical stress on seams and the fabric structure.
No fabric softener
Fabric softener coats moisture-wicking fibres and eliminates their sweat-management properties within a few washes.
No bleach or optical brighteners
These degrade both the colour and the structural integrity of technical fibres.
Drying
Line dry in shade
Hang on a rail or over a drying rack, out of direct sunlight. Direct sun fades colours and degrades stretch fibres.
Lay flat for compression pieces
Hanging tights or compression shorts by the waistband while wet can cause the waistband to stretch unevenly.
Do not tumble dry
Heat from tumble drying causes elastane fibres to lose their elasticity permanently. Even a low-heat setting will shorten the garment's lifespan significantly.
Do not wring or twist
Gently squeeze excess water instead. Wringing distorts the fabric structure.
Storage
Fold compression pieces — don't hang them
Hanging compression tights and shorts on hangers over long periods causes the waistband to lose tension. Fold and store flat in a drawer instead.
Store in a cool, dry place
Avoid damp gym bags for extended periods. Moisture trapped in fabric encourages odour-causing bacteria.
Tops and jackets can be hung
Tops, jackets, and non-compression pieces can be stored on hangers without issue.
Don't leave in a gym bag for days
Air garments out after use — it keeps them fresher between washes.
Special Treatments
Mesh and perforated panels
Use a mesh laundry bag when washing garments with mesh panels to prevent snagging against zips or velcro on other items.
Zips and drawcords
Close zips fully and tie drawcords loosely before washing to prevent snagging other garments in the load.
Understanding Care Labels
Every REVAÍ product has a care label. These are the symbols we use and what they mean.
Machine wash, 30°C mild
The number is the maximum temperature in °C. A bar underneath means a gentle, mild cycle.
Machine wash, 40°C
Warm machine wash up to 40°C. No bar means a normal cycle.
Hand wash
Wash by hand only, in water no hotter than 40°C.
Do not wash
Not for washing in water. Wipe clean with a damp cloth instead.
Do not bleach
No bleach of any kind, including oxygen-based stain removers.
Do not tumble dry
Keep out of the dryer. Hang or lay flat to dry instead.
Iron on low
One dot means low heat, a maximum of 110°C.
Do not iron
Do not iron or steam.
Do not dry clean
Professional dry cleaning will damage the fabric.
All REVAÍ care labels also include written instructions in English. If a label has worn or faded, refer to this page or contact us at support@revaiactive.com.
