Question

Has anyone been able to find disinfectant wipes? I live in an immunocompromised household and just want to keep everyone safe.  

Answer 1

I’ve been using bleach and a rag

Answer 2

Call Walgreens. Ask them when they are getting an order. They saved 2 for me several weeks ago.

Walgreens told me the truck comes Wednesday morning.

Answer 5

It’s so random when they pop up. I managed to get some through amazon fresh yesterday. Today I was able to order on Walmart. com. I’ve been searching and trying for a month! They sell out in seconds it seems.

@hamulus24 for walmart you have to check everyday online

Answer 10

Warrenville Target had Clorox wipes this morning.  

Comments

@peery7 oh darn. They're probably gone by now, I suppose.  

Answer 11

If you can’t find wipes, you can use paper towels sprayed with cleaning spray. That’s what we’ve been doing so we can save the wipes we do have for any emergency errands I have to run. Good luck!  

Comments

@fulfill8 Thanks!  

Answer 12

Oswald's Pharmacy still has some Micro Kill Bleach Wipes. If you call us at 630-812-7166 we can ring up a transaction over the phone for curbside pickup or Naperville delivery. Thanks Carissa!  

Comments

@thirteenth3 You all are amazing!  

Answer 13

If you have bleach you can make your own! A little bleach spray and a rag!  

Answer 14

You can also search for Alcohol Wipes on amazon and they have baby wipes sized alcohol wipes. Those might even be better. I’ve never used any before, but I was just looking around at them right now.  

Answer 15

I always use baby wipes for makeup, the dog, and cleanup. Target has great ones in the baby section.  

Answer 16

Check Woodridge Target.  

Answer 17

Walmart 75th st

Answer 18

I found some at Target Oswego

Answer 19

Target on Diehl , I just left there. About ten left.  

Comments

@necrophilism44 They are probably all gone already. I'm glad that you were able to get some!  

---

They are in the middle isle by brooms. Most people just look on the wall by the hand soap.  

---

@necrophilism44 we must have been there at the same time! I saw them as well, didn’t need any, so I didn’t take any.  

---

@saucedo I probably looked right at you but these masks make it tricky to recognize people!  

Answer 20

Did you try menards? They restock every few days. The GFS by the mall is often overlooked.  

Comments

@churchless6564 I've tried Menard's, but they were out. I would never think to look at GFS. Thanks!  

---

What is GFS?  

Answer 21

There are about 30-40 left at Target on Diehl. I am here now.  

Answer 22

We made our own with alcohol

Answer 23

Try gasoline stations. But I use bleach, and just dilute it with water.  

Answer 24

Walmart in 53 in Glen Ellyn had some as of this morning

Answer 25

I use baby wipes and poured some rubbing alcohol I the container.  

Comments

Wondering if you could use peroxide?  

Answer 26

Target when they first open on a Saturday

Answer 27

I have bleach if you like. Just mix with water and use

Answer 28

Walmart had some online today- may be sold out now

Answer 29

I found a bunch on the Facebook group Naperville Talk.  

Answer 30

You can make your own. Cut a roll of paper towels in half with a knife. If you have an empty container of Clorox wipes, put the half roll of paper towels in the empty Clorox wipe container and fill with the disinfectant of your choice just until the paper towels are damp. You can use colloidal silver, grain alcohol or even diluted bleach as your disinfectant. Just a DIY to help out.  

Comments

@ambulator Thanks!  

---

@concentric just keep in mind bleach loses its potency every couple of days. Need fresh bleach water.  

Answer 31

I’m told Wet ‘n Forget (sold at hardware stores) makes a great disinfectant liquid. It doesn’t have the brand cachet of Clorox & Lysol, so it might not be sold out.  

Comments

@deimos86 Pedersen Would definitely not use wet and forget, even diluted. We use it to clean our decks every year. It is really strong stuff that you don't want to inhale which is why it should only be used in well ventilated areas. There is no way I would ever consider using it in doors. Just an FYI.  

---

I know decks would use the anti-mold stuff — but I think the Wet ‘n Forget brand ALSO carries a disinfectant. I saw a post by Lou Manfredini & it showed the word “disinfectant” on the bottle.  

---

@ambulator This is Mr Fixit’s post:

---

@deimos86 Pedersen can't open.  

---

@ambulator That’s so odd that the link doesn’t work — it goes to a public post. (And it seems highly unlikely that Lou Manfredini would have blocked you! )

Answer 32

Westmont pharmacy in westmont

Answer 33

I didn't find any, but I make my own spray with bleach and water.  

Answer 34

Target really early mornings and menards! Blue goose as well has had them. I heard costco early mornings too. I've found disinfectant cleaners at the dollar store and cvs. It works when I dont have wipes or vinegar/baking soda and then diluted bleach.  

Answer 35

GFS has gallons and gallons of disinfectant with bleach - dilute and put in a spray bottle.

Answer 38

I found them at Walmart Bolingbrook. They had plenty. One per customer but they are the big ones

Answer 39

Costco has them; get there early.  

Comments

Not everyday. I was there Thursday morning early and there were none. You can use a mixture of alcohol and water to disinfect.  

Answer 40

We made own use shop paper towels and cut them ad water and cut use little Lemon

Comments

@drupe that doesn’t qualify as “disinfecting” wipes.
