sanitizing wipes and sprays

SeaMaiden · ‎03-10-2010

I can not find ANYTHING. Do you think the suppliers will EVENTUALLY get caught up where the public has access to some? They want us to wipe down everything etc, but if you can not buy it how do you do this... I can not even find the rubbing alcohol that I use to buy at the dollar store for a buck ANYWHERE.

I sure hope that eventually stores will have them,but when?

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

Most likely not for a long while.

A doctor on this news this morning said you do not have to use a disinfectant, using soap washing countertops, etc will work just as well.

It really depends on how bad the virus is in your specific town, county and/or state.

I have also noticed what is "out of stock" online, you can find the items in the store.

Yesterday, I went on a BJ's run for 2 neighbors who needed adult "flushable" wipes. BJ's had none. Yet, I found a bunch of baby "flusable" wipes over in the baby department. Go figure.

Went to Walgreens. They were out of baby "flushable" wipes but had plenty of adult flushable wipes. Clerk told me "flushable" wipes are the new TP.

Yeah right! I am beginning to think "they" will say anything to prevent us from worrying when actually there aren't enough supplies for everyone-masks, lysol, clorox wipes, gloves, ventilators, tests, antidotes.

I can see washing hands for 20 seconds to offset any germs but soap and water on counter tops?

That wouldn't make me feel safe.

I just feel like we can try our best and after that it's a c....p shoot.

🙏 for us all!

@Mz iMac Please note that NO WIPES even those called flushable should ever be flushed down the Toilet. It just causes problems for the city sewer people and they can cause clogs in your own sewer pipes costing a lot of money to fix. ONLY FLUSH TOILET PAPER.

@SeaMaiden As I stated, they were for my neighbors. I have plenty of TP.

@Mz iMac, even if you aren't flushing wipes if your neighbor is it can still cause problems with your system. They lead to blockages in the sewer lines which can lead to backups in homes sharing the main.

ETA: I've been hearing PSAs about flushing wipes. Officials are reminding us to only flush the 3 Ps--pee, p**p and paper.

Since I don't buy wipes or sprays, ITA like what's wrong with a good soap and water solution followed by air drying for kitchen and bath surfaces?

A bit of Clorox in a spritzer bottle with water and a few drops of tea tree or Thieves oil. Works. Cheap.

Do some research on pool shock as a dupe for chlorine bleach.

I swear, some of ya'll must have never faced any hard times ever that forced you to improvise.

@ SeaMaiden - You can mix a little bit of Chlorox (like a teaspoon) with water in a spray bottle. Or spray the mixture on a clean wash cloth and use as a wipe. I can't find any wipes in the store either.
