Clorox Wipes

Nightowlz — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 17:17:58 GMT

Our local Wal-Mart has the individual 75 ct lemon wipes in stock. They show them in stock online with in store purchase only so check your local Wal-Mart online to see if it shows available in your store. They go fast so you would probably have to run to the store today if you want some.

Haven't had any of those in the house for over a year. It would be nice to have a canister on hand before the flu returns in fall.

I just got home from WM and my store didn't have anything but some Lysol spray in the white can. I climbed up to the top shelf and grabbed two.

Just FYI, the online Walmart does not necessarily have accurate stock info from the stores. On the bright side, I have repeatedly found items it said were not in stock at my store right there on the shelf, and plenty of them. Most recently it was Shop ~~Vac~~ Towels, a multi-pack of Bankers Boxes, and several types of Ball jars and lids. Go figure.

IMO, it's worth double-checking the actual store just to make sure.

Edited because it's Shop Towels, not Shop Vac. I'm debating whether to get the little Armor All wet-dry vac for car and other tasks, so I have vacs on the brain.

@Nightowlz Every time my WM shows they are available in-store, I rush over there and they laugh at me! Not doing it again!

@Nightowlz

Was just at a nearby WM yesterday and no cleaning products in sight. I picked up the last two bottles of Mr. Clean. No wipes of any kind.

Some paper products, but the shelves are mostly bare. In all fairness, I've only been to that store twice since March, so maybe they are there when I am not.

I shop a lot at Walmart online, and they've been out of many items for months.

I make my own disinfecting wipes....

I buy baby wipes from Costco( big box)

make my own disinfectant with a recipe I got online...alcohol, distilled water, liquid glycerine,and a few drops of lavender essential oil. I poor the liquid into a zip lock bag containing the baby wipes....

works great and I make lots of wipes for very little money.

I was shocked to see them this morning on the shelves. I didn't need any since I purchased some at Sam's Club about a month ago. But I was glad to see them because so many people have been looking for some.

Just received a call from my former teaching partner. She retired and moved to Tampa in July. She said she found Clorox wipes in Target today and how many did I need. No limit. I cannot find them in Broward County.

She is driving down to Miami and will meet me off I-75 tomorrow!!

Who would have ever thought that wipes would make us so happy?

My sisters grandchildren are suppose to bring their own to school. My sister asked them how they are suppose to bring them if you cannot find them? She told them she was not running all over town looking for them so they would not be bringing any to school with them?

I live in Florida and am able to frequently find Clorox and Lysol wipes for family and friends. The key for me is to be at the store right when they open and to start shopping on the cleaning aisle. Typically the wipes and Lysol spray are on the same aisle.

At least in my area, you've got to be walking in as they open the store to find these items. It usually only takes a few minutes for the shelves to be emptied of any wipes that were stocked overnight.

I make my own. Very easy. I mix I cup 60% or higher isopropyl alcohol to 2 cups warm water.I add a teaspoon of liquid dish soap. Mix it well. I cut up the blue contractors paper towels into quarters. I either put the paper towels in a plastic container or a zip lock bag.Then I pour the liquid over the paper towels.Close the container or the bag & shake it up really well. Voila !

That happened to me with CVS. It showed Clorox wipes available, so I dropped everything and rushed to that CVS. No wipes. I won't fall for that again.

I saw a news story recently where Clorox said they won't have adequate availability of wipes until some time in 2020. I have never seen them in store or online at all since this all began. The only place I've been able to find disinfecting wipes is at Harmon, their own store brand. They have had them in stock a few times (not always, not too often). I stumbled upon them by accident. They had a limit of 2, which has now been reduced to 1 per person. I don't even want them for anything pandemic related, I have always used them for cleaning the toilet and other areas of the bathroom and disinfecting my kitchen counter when raw meat has contacted it. Surface contamination with the virus is not a real issue inside my home so I'm not wiping every surface with them, just normal cleaning. I actually have cut back on my use of them so I don't run out any time soon. Alcohol wipes are actually better if you're worried about the virus on surfaces. Much faster acting. Lysol and clorox wipes take several minutes to kill a virus.

I order for pickup from Walmart and Kroger. I always try to get these wipes and Walmart doesn't even show them. I have gotten them from Kroger a few times. I don't over use them. I try to use paper towels and cleaner when I can. Normally I would go through these wipes like crazy.

I’m wondering if things are beginning to improve on the wipes front. I order my groceries online. There haven’t been any wipes available for months. In the last week I’ve noticed them appearing on the website again. They limit customers to two.
