Loving this for my laundry

I do wish that the next scent would be released though!!!

Smells so good!

First of all the packaging is absolutely stunning! 😍 10/10 for most beautiful laundry packaging on the planet.
So easy to use, my 7 and 9 year olds can go start the laundry for me!!
The smell is incredible, light and fresh and not overwhelming!
My clothes smell so good and are really soft now.
My kids and I all have sensitive skin, especially when it comes to laundry detergent, and we have had zero issues. 😁
My only complaint is that if the sheet is just on top of all the clothes, sometimes it doesn’t dissolve and just sticks to the side of the washing machine. 🫣🫠
Otherwise I love them and will probably buy them again.

Not as it says

I first opened the box and got a big smell, I was so excited. A couple of days later I did a load of wash. I used 2 full sheets because I wanted a strong scent left behind. I checked the washer half way, no suds and no smell. I added a 3rd sheet. When it finished and went to put my clothes in the dryer, they had no sent and smelled like… dirty water. I ended up using my regular Persil detergent and rewashed everything. Waste of money for the box and refill.

A Tome of freshness

These laundry sheets are as comforting and reliable as a favorite book that's been read over and over. Lightly scented "pages" keep the spell from wearing off or becoming old and in need of a change, though I am excited for any news of the next edition to reach the shelves! Truthfully, the lilac brings me back to my childhood home in a town called Paradise, where my family's driveway was lined with lilac bushes. It's a comfort to remember that space for a moment while performing the tedious quest of laundry. Now, if only you had dryer ball oils or sheets to add to the dryer to keep the story going!... ;)

I rarely have trouble with the sheets dissolving properly, but have found that if they are added after the laundry, and placed on the sides by the bottom, rather than flat on the drum, I see less dissolving issues. My machine does not have a central agitator, and I think that if the sheets are not pressed on the bottom with the weight of the laundry, it keeps the sheets from gumming up, and allows them to dissolve more freely as the drum fills and swishes.

These laundry sheets are AMAZING! First of all these sheets are very high quality and the perforated lines are very distinctive to make sure they separate and not tear into the other side. The packaging is high quality, but the Hardcover Book to keep your laundry sheets is above and beyond! Great magnetic closer to seal in the scent and user directions on the inside cover. The color of High Lady is a deep indigo purple, which is definitely royalty, but has a darker, deeper feel to it. The silver foiling of the tiara and lettering jump out from the background, not loudly, but in a steady comanding way. The scent is incredible! Feminine, soft, otherworldly, and fresh. I will only wash my bedding and towels in this, because at the end of your day and and into your dreams you can become your own High Lady. 💜

Frequently Asked Questions

Get to know the sheets, optional hardcovers and delivery choices.

Do I get a hardcover with every delivery?

No. Hardcovers are one-time purchases; subscription deliveries replenish detergent only. Add or remove the optional High Lady hardcover before adding your pack. The Shadow Daddy preorder includes its matching hardcover once.

How do subscriptions work?

Choose a pack size and delivery schedule. Cart quantity is the number of packs: two 3-packs means six boxes per delivery. The selected pack price is multiplied by the number of packs. Hardcovers are one-time only. Shadow Daddy is currently offered here as a separate one-time preorder, not a recurring delivery.

How much does shipping cost?

See our Shipping Policy for destinations, delivery estimates and shipping charges. Review the shipping total before placing an order. Preorders may ship separately; check the estimated shipping date shown with the product.

What is your refund policy?

New customers can contact hello@firsteditionsco.com within 30 days of receiving their first order for help with a refund. One-time bulk purchases have separate return requirements: unopened boxes with intact seals must be returned at your expense. Subscription refills are non-refundable unless damaged or defective. See our Refund Policy for eligibility, exceptions and processing times.

What if a sheet doesn’t dissolve fully?

Follow the dosing and placement directions on your pack and your machine’s instructions. Avoid overloading the drum. Still seeing residue? Email hello@firsteditionsco.com with your machine type and wash settings so we can help.

Where can I find ingredient information?

For a question about a particular ingredient, email hello@firsteditionsco.com with the scent you’re considering. Ingredient information should match your chosen scent; please do not assume both scents have the same formula.

How should I wash delicate items?

Follow your garment’s care label and the washing directions on your detergent pack. For help choosing a dose or method, email hello@firsteditionsco.com.

What makes First Editions different?

Laundry detergent sheets, with a place on your bookshelf. Pair your detergent with an optional reusable hardcover, then keep the cover and restock the sheets. The detergent and hardcover are separate parts of the routine.
