SOAK NO MORE

This is how it all started. I did my engineering just to please my parents, got a nice job in top company ,was enjoying the cozy life with handsome salary and was happy with the freedom of being single. Suddenly a drastic change happened got married.Initially I was happy with the marriage and was trying to adjust to the new changes and responsibilities. Within a year I got pregnant and was blessed with a baby boy. I was kinda having mixed feelings of happiness, confusion and fear. The initial days were very hard to cope up with. Thanks to technology and advancement today that we have invented diapers to use in contrast to using clothes in the past. Even though the technology has advanced so much, my biggest challenge was to find out a way to remove the stains of the poop and pee from the bed sheets,receiving blankets. In spite of having diapers my son is too cranky that he poops and pees during the changing times, making the blankets dirty. I have tried washing the dirty blankets in washing machines but with unsuccessful removal of the poop stains. Even I soaked the blankets hours together and then hand washed still the stains of poop remain creating worry in my mind. I was literary soaked in poopy bed sheets and blankets. with Soak no more, there is some sigh of relief.
