I SCORED CLOROX DISINFECTING WIPES AT WAL-MART TODAY

wismiss — Thu, 29 Oct 2020 21:47:33 GMT

It was a container of only 30, but it's better than none. The container wasn't easy to find. They had put them on the bottom shelf and had turned the label toward the back of the shelf. I saw something on the bottom shelf and reached down to look at it. Walla, Clorox Disinfecting Wipes. Needless to say, a limit of 1, but I haven't seen Clorox disinfecting wipes in a long time. Guess it pays to look on the bottom shelf.

My daughter brought home 2 containers of Lysol wipes yesterday from Dollar General.

I scored a container of Lysol wipes and a bottle of Clorox Clean-up at Walmart a couple of weeks ago. After so many months of empty shelves, I felt like I had struck gold!

@wismiss Bottom shelf and to the back. People see an empty shelf and do not bother to bend down and look. Often there will be one or two of an item sitting far back but not noticed.

Glad you found what you needed; lately our local grocery chain was stocked at least 2 shelves deep each with Lysol and Clorox wipes.

The supply of Clorox wipes didn't seem as popular but there are still some left over.

Also Lysol spray cleaner.

The only thing I've seen since this whole mess started is generic or off label. They are dry and not worth buying.

I was lucky that last week I found a pack of 5 (85 wipes in each) containers. It was, of course, one per person per day. I only realized they had them

as I was getting into the checkout line and saw them in the cart of the woman ahead of me.

I raced back down the store and got them. Just as I was walking away a man asked me where I'd found them, so I showed him. I didn't go back to the store until several days later and, of course, they're gone. I'm just glad I happened to hit it on the right day.

I have been really lucky finding wipes all through this event. It was especially hard in like April and May, but many of our stores now have them in stock in various brands on a semi regular basis. But canisters that I could pick up on sale (Lysol 35 count) for 89 cents on a regular basis, are now like $3.

I've had pretty good luck hitting Sam's Club at least a half a dozen times over the last few months, for the big packs of Clorox wipes (five large containers per pack) or their Member's Mark brand (4 large containers per pack)as well. Found the Member's Mark ones yesterday when I was there.

Our Meijer has had Lysol wipes, a whole skid of them in the main aisle a couple of weeks ago, but they were almost $5 for the large single canister, so I picked up just one at that price. This week they had the small Clorox wipes canisters for like $3, and I passed on those, but the shelf was pretty full.

So at least for the short term, they are back on a limited basis in my area. Not expecting that to last though, but I hope it does.

I'm not even paying attention to price for Clorox wipes.

As I wished, I was gifted several large containers for my birthday this summer, but I can't help myself when I see them in stock.

So I've picked up one here and one there although they are the smaller containers.

I somehow feel that having them is saving my life and my loved ones, too. Crazy, isn't it?

I also came across 20 packs of my Scott bathroom tissue and they have a deal going that if you spend more than $25 on Scott tissue and/or paper towels, you get $5 off. Plus, they were both on sale. So I got 40 rolls of toilet paper for less than $23.

Should gloves be worn while using those wipes? My understanding is they are not meant for the hands. When they are being used liberally around the house and on packages that arrive by the mail and ups, I think that gloves are probably not given much thought. I think that before covid there use was not to the extreme are they are now and so the occasional use without gloves was not much of an issue. On the other hand the wipes that don't contain the c.h.d. but primarily alcohol probably don't need gloves. Just thinking out loud.

I think I have enough wipes and hand sanitizer and paper towels and toilet paper to last through next year. I guess not being able to get it made me look harder. A gal has to have something to do in these hard times. LOL

In any case now I am on to a new project... finding something to clean an oriental rug. My pups.. and urine. Yikes. never had such a hard time cleaning and refreshing anything.

I've done and oriental rug before using a carpet steamer and it didn't ruin it.

Also, you can use a wet sponge mop with sudsy water (dish liquid) and lightly scrub with that. Go back with a bucket of plain water.

As far as puppy, there is a product I get called BioKleen Bac Out. I prefer the lime scented. It's plant based, safe for puppies and babies. Removes odors very well and leaves a fresh scent.

I use it undiluted for my cats litter boxes after I empty them.

You can find it at most grocery stores, Whole Foods, and I buy it by the gallon from Amazon. Really recommend.

@agb80

You're right. I've used them on my hands when I've left stores and just feel like I really need to disinfect before I start driving. (And I wear disposable gloves when shopping.) They practically burn my palms. I wash with soap and water when I get home.

I've also wiped things down without using gloves and I get that same tingly feeling. I do keep a pair of playtex gloves (the kind for dishwashing) that I use specifically for wiping down store bought items. Just sometimes I pop that lid without donning the gloves!

@Venezia I would have taken my groceries to the car, turned around and gone right back in and bought more. I don't go anywhere without them these days. If I don't have gloves with me, I put them on the handle of the buggy. I've seen no real proper cleaning of any of them.

@Georgiagrama - You can't do that. You have to swipe your membership card first when you check out and it keeps track of the items.

I wouldn't anyway because I know everyone is trying to find these things, too. In fact, I told another lady they had them in. She was just going in as I was leaving and she appreciated the heads up.

If they'd had any left, when I went in the next time, I would've bought more though! 😊

My son was in Home Depot & got me 2 3 packs of disenfecting wipes.That was the limit.They are an off brand of Clorox wipes. In addition I learned how to make my own in the Spring.So I think we're set through the winter.

One of my local Targets had Clorox wipes last weekend. It was a pleasant sight.

Glad you found some! We haven't had any trouble finding them here at all. They have been on store shelves for months. Hopefully your store will be fully stocked soon.

@Venezia

At Wal-Mart a few months ago, stopping just to see if they had wipes. I spotted lady with 5 pack and rushed to cleaning aisle. None. I asked clerk and told none. I then followed (yes, followed) the lady to ask her where she got but chickened out.. So strange .

Wipes still rare here.
