La cura dei capi di Madiva

The care of Madiva's garments

Our garments are precious, we do everything to make them unique and timeless. 

The harmonious and elegant combination of precious materials is the key to uniqueness and craftsmanship, this is why we need to take care of this wealth. 

We ensure that “everything is perfect and as we imagined”, one of our favorite mantras precisely because every fabric, before being transformed into a garment, is checked. The durability and response to washing are tested on each piece of different material and not only that, each color is tested differently precisely because all the shades are different from each other. 

Our 100% Pure Virgin Wool and Silk Wool. 

We know that delicate garments are hand washed to maintain all their qualities, but our wool has been tested and processed to be more easily maintained, allowing it to be washed even in washing machine at 40° without activating the spin cycle.

Do you know what another of the many qualities of our wool is?

You will never have a garment ruined by pilling, why? Because our products are made only with quality fibers with long fibers, while the cause of the pilling phenomenon mainly affects textile products made with short fibers and subjected to various treatments that lead to the formation of irregular fiber clumps on the surface of the fabrics. 

Always use a gentle detergent specifically for wool.

Always use a gentle detergent specifically for wool; before putting the garment in the washing machine, turn it inside out to protect the outer part even more. Do not wring or rub the garments; if you need to remove more stubborn stains, dab with a stain-specific product and then put it in the washing machine. 

Never hang garments to dry on a drying rack; instead, lay them flat to maintain their shape, perhaps on a soft item. 

An eco-friendly tip

Do not wash the garment if you have only worn it once; wool does not get dirty easily, and this will help extend the life of your garment even more.

A wool garment washed and dried properly will hardly need to be ironed.

but if you prefer to perfect the fit, always remember to check the temperature indicated on the label, remember to turn it inside out to preserve the visible part as much as possible. Always place a cloth between the garment and the iron without leaving it for too long.

Cotton: how to avoid shrinking cotton garments?

Our garments in pure cotton that do not contain synthetic fibers will naturally undergo minimal shrinkage, and this is proof that the garment is actually made with pure cotton fabric.

Cotton garments can be washed in the washing machine at 40°C by setting a delicate cycle. The secret to keep in mind is to set a spin that does not exceed 800 revolutions: this is the only precaution that will allow you to minimize the loss of centimeters.

A tip to maintain softness: 

You can replace the fabric softener with vinegar, which has disinfectant properties and the ability to create a pleasant softness.

Our products meet all the requirements of the TEXTILE AND HEALTH PROJECT supported by the ITALIAN MINISTRY OF HEALTH voluntary certification system that evaluates the production process and confirms the absence of hazardous substances, all with objective criteria and transparency, which has the dual objective:

  • to give importance to companies that operate in compliance with mandatory regulations;
  • to guarantee the consumer regarding the origin, traceability, and safety of the textile garment and footwear they wear.
