Question

Less than half a bottle of disinfectant wipes left for our 5 person household! I will be on the hunt Thursday - Saturday; ANY SUGGESTIONS!? Tips on best time to get to the stores!? Anyone have a friend or family member working at a store that gives them a heads up when items go on shelf!? Thanks in advance ❤️

Answer 1

Made my own today

Comments

@rigid37 fyi the bleach is only good for 24hours after mixing in water

---

@heisenberg yes! Thank you. I made a bunch. Wiped stuff down and will make a new batch when need be

---

@rigid37 just wanted to make sure you were aware. I’ve seen that graphic going around and it’s great but only when used properly.  

---

@heisenberg really? So if I made a big spray bottle it’s worthless after 24 hours?  

---

@gerfen77621 I think so. I also think it needs to sit on the surface for a while to actually work. You can’t just spray and immediately wipe it off.  

---

Thanks Wish I could fine alcohol !  

Answer 2

We have Clorox spray and douse them on paper towels before going out to grocery shop. Store in ziplock bag.  

Answer 3

Aldi gets shipments daily so your best bet is to get there right when they open. I am not sure how often they are getting wipes in but I can check tomorrow when I work and get back to you?

@siam6322 I’d appreciate that! ❤️

Answer 4

I found some yesterday at target in Oswego at 10am. I would definitely go early. Most places have a restriction of one per person.  

Comments

@dynasty Thanks hun! Any idea id stock availability on the target app is up to date?  

---

@salpingotomy I would guess not. I can’t imagine it updates automatically when something is purchased. If you are buying a high demand item (like cleaning wipes) I would doubt its right. The big containers they had were all natural and the small (35 count) was disinfecting. All they had were targets brand.  

Answer 5

I have had such a hard time finding wipes. We have NONE. So my solution was placing a mason jar on my counter with a capful of bleach then topped up with water and dishcloths inside. Voila! Reusable bleach wipes. I also have one spray bottle of lysol. I poured the lysol into an old wipes container cut down a roll of paper towels. Works great!  

Answer 6

I have found them every time I have gone to Woodmans when they open at 7AM. The only trouble is that there is a limit of 1 canister per family per day.  

Comments

@splashdown779 As in 1 of these per person? Or do they have the 2packs? We typically buy from Sams but no luck

---

@salpingotomy , yep 1 canister of about 75 wipes, unfortunately. It's frustrating but that's probably why at least it's not a wasted trip and you can rely on getting a canister each time. I've always arrived by 7:30AM and they've had 1.  

Answer 7

Target may be getting more in the AM we have a truck

Comments

@deify which target are you referring to?  

---

@remy6614 the one in Oswego i can message you in the morning if we do

---

@deify yes please! Thanks ☺️

---

@remy6614 no problem

Answer 8

I found mine at Sam's. I can spare a pack if you need it.  

Comments

@genova next if available

---

@genova Thank you for everything you do in your field! I appreciate you working  

---

@salpingotomy thank you. I love my job and wouldn't change a thing.  

---

@remy6614 I pmd you

Answer 9

I will PM you

Answer 10

I am just curious why you need wipes specifically? Seriously, I'm not trying to be a smartass. I just wipe everything with hot soapy water and a dish rag. Worked for my grandparents, my parents and me.  

Comments

@yan384 because we’re a society of convenience.  

---

I've been wondering the same thing. It's pretty easy to find disinfecting sprays (or make your own) and just spray it on a cloth or paper towel. I think wipes are not very eco-friendly for daily use IMHO.  

Answer 11

I seriously appreciate you all! Thanks for the kind suggestions, I’m going to make some  

Answer 12

I’ve gotten lucky at Walgreens

Answer 13

Sam's had a bunch of them out there. It made me mad that they are selling a four pack I believe and the big container and this couple grabbed four packs when the guy said one per person I was ok with one because a four pack is more than plenty (greedy people ) btw I only get them when to go out like pump gas, atm machines etc

Comments

@leta4 I am a banker and I am so happy you use them on ATMS!  

---

@salpingotomy oh God with my OCD and phobia I can't touch them without cleaning them and the handheld devices in stores ugh. just the thought lol

---

@leta4 I see it daily where someone will touch the atm, grab their phone/wallet, touch their face or rub their nose! Its crazy the bad habits a lot of us have  

Answer 14

Ray diluted bleach on a rag. it's easy

Answer 15

Ray change to spray
