Where To Buy Disinfecting Wipes Online

Disinfectant wipes. A rare commodity in the pandemic world of 2020. By now, we've all probably had that "unique" experience. The one where our good-hearted neighbor (shall we refer to her as "Debbie?")  — declares publicly on Facebook that Costco just received a new shipment of Clorox wipes.
We immediately don our shoes, jackets, and face masks — only to be disappointed 10 minutes later that the shipment is already gone by the time we arrive.
Hopes and dreams dashed.
The good news is, there is a better way. But first, let's talk about why we even need this newly- rare staple in our households in the first place.

 

When to Use Disinfecting Wipes

Recent studies show that the SARS-Cov-2 virus is much more likely to spread by air transmission than by surface. However, it is still recommended that you frequently sanitize highly-touched surfaces in your house or apartment. This is especially crucial if residents have had contact with the outside world or if you have had any visitors.
The best way to disinfect a surface is first to clean the area and then disinfect it. There is a difference. Cleaning involves removing clutter, dust and wiping down the surface. Disinfecting can then take place, which entails killing bacterial and viral pathogens.
One can disinfect with antibacterial wipes or sprays, however, wipes have maintained their popularity due to both their convenience and efficiency.  
Examples of high-touch surfaces include:

• Table surfaces
• Doorknobs
• Bathroom counters
• Light switches
• Faucets and faucet knobs
• Kitchen counters
• Hard dining chairs
• TV remote controls
• Cellphones
• Game controllers

It is not advised to use normal disinfecting wipes on a computer screen, keyboard, trackpad, or phone screens. This could easily cause some damage. Instead, opt to use isopropyl alcohol (70%) and a soft towel. This will disinfect your devices without jeopardizing their value.

As far as food goes, the FDA has said there is no reason to go overboard with sanitizing food and food packaging. Use common sense and wash your fruits and vegetables as you normally would, but otherwise, just continue to wash your hands and practice good food hygiene.

Where To Buy Disinfecting Wipes

So… let's shop wipes. Back to our story about our good neighbor, "Debbie." No matter how fast one rushes to the local department store, the shelves seem to always be vacant.  

We know that we need to disinfect. We even WANT to disinfect….but where can we find these magical disinfecting wipes?

When you can't find them locally (as most of us can't) an excellent place to look is DMBsupply.com. Our  American warehouse, based in New York, and ships out bulk orders of many different types of disinfectant wipes. Because wipes are so challenging to come by, it only makes sense to order them in bulk and stock up.

Whether you prefer Lysol wipes, Clorox wipes, disinfecting sprays, or gentle antibacterial wipes for your hands, DMB Supply has you covered in all areas. You will never have to listen to kind, sweet "Debbie" and panic-rush to Costco again. DMB Supply will take care of the work for you.

Types of Disinfecting Wipes


There are a few different types of disinfecting wipes, and you may develop personal preferences based on your needs.

Popular brands such as Clorox wipes and Lysol wipes are both extremely effective for eradicating germs on hard surfaces.

Clorox wipes have been known to work the fastest on germs, including the SARS-Cov-2 virus. They usually come in a single pack or a pack of four — and are presoaked in a non-bleach formula. These wipes are EPA approved and will kill pathogens in as little as four minutes, the fastest on the market.  They are recommended for hard surfaces, but should be used with caution on wood and are not recommended for soft surfaces or the body.

Lysol wipes are similar to their rivals in that they are also EPA approved, presoaked in a non-bleach formula, and recommended for hard surfaces. They also kill almost all pathogens, however, they take about ten minutes instead of four. But even so, Lysol wipes are a good product to have on hand, especially when disinfectant wipes are tricky to find.

If you are looking for something gentle to use on your hands, DMB Supply also sells G & Y Antibacterial Hand Wipes. These wipes will not dry out your hands or damage your skin, and kills 99.9% of germs.

When all else fails, the CDC has published a recipe for a homemade sanitizing solution. However, we recommend that this be used with caution and only in extreme circumstances. Bleach is very strong chemical that can easily damage or discolor surfaces. But it's a good recipe to have on hand — just in case.

1. 4 teaspoons household bleach
2. 1-quart water
3. Pour both into one-quart spray bottle and shake vigorously
4. Spray on surface to disinfect, let sit for 10 minutes, and wipe away with wet cloth

Remember, if the dire need comes to use this cleaning solution, wear gloves, and keep the windows open for proper ventilation.

Which Wipes Are the Best

Ultimately, you will eventually settle on your "favorite" brand and type of disinfectant wipe. How could you not in the year of 2020? Certain wipe features will be important to you, and it will become a matter of personal preference.
As a rule of thumb, some things to keep in mind will be the durability of the wipe, if the wipe is adequately saturated, if it leaves any residue, the size of the wipe, the thickness or thinness of the wipe, and how quickly it kills germs.
 But before you can even formulate those types of opinions, it's probably best that you FIND a decent stock of disinfectant wipes first. Through companies like DMB Supply, you can order the perfect disinfecting wipes suitable for your needs.
