Anyone noticing a paper towel shortage?

[jon-nyc]

Not as bad as the TP shortage was a couple of months ago, but I'm finding it hard to buy paper towels.

I still don't go to stores, I order online. And they'll often have one brand/style marked available and another 10 or 15 marked unavailable. But when I select the one that's supposedly available about half the time they tell me it's sold out by delivery day and I don't get it.

Anyone else see this?

Yup. Started hearing about it a couple of days ago and then a failed quest yesterday.

I can only guess they redirected manufacturing facilities or inputs toward TP earlier and this is the side effect.

I'm fixing to see it, being on my penultimate paper towel roll right now. But I've experienced that offering-and-then-snatching-away bit in a number of items. Demonstrating that even the blackest cloud has a silver lining, it took this crisis to introduce me to the fabulous Vitamin Water, and Amazon teases me cruelly with that.

No problems with Paper Towels, but I still can't find Lysol or Clorox wipes.

Plenty of all of that stuff around here.

Funny, I also noticed paper towels were somewhat hard to find. Everything else (TP, clorox wipes, masks, antibacterial spray) seems to have recovered.

@89th Where are you finding Clorox wipes?

I bought a box of six large canisters at Sam's yesterday.

The hospital was able to source hand sanitizer and wipes through a local janitorial supply store.
