Dosing, care and where to find help. For delivery and order questions, visit the Shop.
Put the sheet in the empty drum first, then add your clothes, and leave them room to move. On short or very cold cycles, tear the sheet in half along its perforation and drop both halves in. Still seeing residue? Email hello@firsteditionsco.com with your machine and wash settings, and we’ll help.
Every ingredient is listed on our Ingredients page, with its CAS number and what it does. High Lady and Shadow Daddy use the same sheet formula; only the fragrance differs. Shadow Daddy’s fragrance details are coming soon.
Check the care label first. For most delicates, use a gentle cycle in cold water with half a sheet, and put small pieces in a mesh bag. Our sheets contain an enzyme (protease) that lifts protein stains, so skip them for wool and silk and use a wool-safe detergent instead.
