I finally found a store that has these in stock
Of course, it was $11.

Our store ran out of these, at the start of the pandemic. So I had to resort to buying a couple off eBay, the cheapest was £18.99 for the two posted, when we sell them in store for £3 each.
The hand sanitiser is pretty plentiful these days though, even if some of the new internet selling companies are charging a premium for it.

My dog had diarrhea all over the house for a week and I’m completely out of disinfectant sprays now. Worst possible timing.

Hit me up if you are in Fort Collins area. We bought a three pack of some huge Lysols at Costco and we rarely use it. I’ll give you one if you’re here, I’m sure my wife won’t mind me being nice “to the people from your website” as she calls y’all.

Bunch of people in states bought thousands of sanitizers and it backfired. People trying to profit from this are scum.

They’ve done that all over the world really.
Through companies I’ve used in the past (being an ambulance tec and starting a private ambulance company) I’ve been buying gloves and sanitiser, etc... when it was hard to come by to give to home carers and those isolating or high risk.

I have 91% too but that is more for cleaning than killing viruses. There are some interesting papers on it but the 91% dries too quickly and can encapsulate the virus instead of killing it. I think they said 70-80% is the sweet spot. For wiping down credit cards and keys I dilute to 75%. If you have a container that is consistently shaped with no taper you can just do the math and measure out marks in millimetres .

Aah, I did not know the science behind it...I had bought the 91% only to clean my heat sinks

Heat sinks? Is that what kids are calling weed pipes these days?

Aw, I appreciate it. I managed to get toilet paper at Costco before the rest of the world but didn’t get a heads up on cleaning supplies! Thank goodness we got meds before the situation got too dire.

You can actually just use dry cotton balls without the alcohol

This is a good option. I have it as well. Just need a clean spray bottle:

My local hardware store can barely give the stuff away these days...and I still haven't bought any. Mainly because soap is cheap and effective.

Ha, I thought you meant aerosol spray disinfectant. Luckily, hand sanitizer isn’t too difficult to find any longer. As for spray disinfectant, we can get stuff like this off if Amazon:

Aerosol spray ‘ disinfectant’ is, in my humble microbiologically tainted opinion, a WOFTAM. I’m not sure why anyone would actually need it...
