Don’t Expect Sanitizing Wipes to Be in Stock for a While
In the old days of 2019, disinfectant wipes had a small but specialized market. Hermaphobes and parents bought them regularly; for many of us, they were either accidental or unnecessary. Things have changed now, and napkin companies are struggling to keep up.

The company is also lagging behind other pandemic-related shipments, including liquid bleach, but expects them to return to warehouse within the next four to six months. Disinfectant wipes will take longer.

This might mean keeping a spray bottle and a roll of paper towels in your car or in a diaper bag instead of packing Clorox wipes, but it will still do the trick.
