Grocery shelves won't be fully stocked with Clorox's disinfecting wipes until next year, CEO Benno Dorer told Reuters on Monday, as the world's biggest cleaning products maker struggles with overwhelming pandemic-led demand for its top product.

Since the start of global lockdowns, makers of hygiene goods have seen a sustained boom in sales. While California-based Clorox typically holds aside excess supply for flu seasons, it says it has been unable to keep up with a six-fold increase in demand for many of its disinfectants. Clorox products are used in Uber vehicles and United Airlines planes, and are sold by major retailers like Walmart, Amazon and Kroger.

This is by design.

Dear realDonaldTrump Why aren’t you using the FUCKING DPA? Here is the list you’ve procrastinated on while Americans suffer and DIE 1) point of care test kits in every school & public business 2) PPE for first responders & teachers & anyone who needs it 3) disinfectant

Ugh. Polyester? Why can’t they make them biodegradable like flushable wipes?

I was told by a warehouse employee that Target has pallets full and they aren’t putting them out.

Just ridiculous! Game they are playing. Probably get their ingredients from China so can’t get it.

Lysol where you at?

Then they should ramp up production! Hit donny up for equipment loan, train people to work. Get it done!

jtd1003 As most CEOs would tell their people... figure it out. They're still mass producing gallon bottles of bleach but no wipes (diff ingredients I know). They're creating a false shortage to boost their sales when they do produce them. Capitalism.

Executive order to ramp up production for the election ...via defensive production act

Great. Thanks for nothing . We can mass produce everything under the sun in record time but not wipes.

Use bleach, it’s the same, it’s cheap and it works

Y’all said the same thing about toilet paper

Well That Case, He Better Get His Shit Together And Start Producing MORE..!!! Lame Excuses Are NOT Going To Cut It... Hrmph! 😐

They have 'enough' but can create panic buying by saying that don't. Just buy hand sanitizer, there's plenty of that.

So, we go back to what we did before Clorox wipes. Spray bottle and paper towels🤦🏽‍♀️

Darn 😢

People need to stop eating them or stuffing them in places they don't belong. They are not lights.

Liquid Clorox and paper towel or an old rag will suffice.

Are you eating these too?

Bah! No wonder I can’t find any on the shelves.

That is only 5 months away

We’re not building ventilators here guys ...come on!!!

Give them some of that govt Kodak or hydroxychloroquine money

Use bleach.

How much can you possible clean! If you constantly clean everything every minute of the day, you probably not going to make it to begin with. Sorry.

I don't think that's the end of the world, do you? 🤔😂

Well I’ll use something else to wipe my ass

Shelves that used to be stocked with Lysol, Clorox wipes (and the store brand version of them) have been EMPTY for months. I once caught a delivery guy with one case of Lysol and scored two cans. He got the rest on the shelf, but they were gone in minutes. Real life.

Well Trumpsters are busy eating them to clean COVID up COVIDIOTS

Maybe even longer if Trump endorses them and tells people to eat them

Maybe Jared can help us

Just properly wash your hands with soap.

Why the f* not?

So what?
