If you thought it was hard to find toilet paper or hand sanitizer these days, just try looking for disinfectant wipes online. From Amazon to Walmart, all of the major retailers are sold out of disinfecting wipes, or they’re listing options that won’t ship for weeks.

Fortunately, there are a couple ways to hack it. Brand-name offerings like Lysol wipes or Clorox wipes have been consistently sold out since March, but if you’re willing to try some lesser-known brands, you’ll find that there are plenty of top-rated disinfecting wipes in stock. Almost all of them contain the CDC-recommended amount of at least 70% alcohol in their formulas, offering the most effective cleaning and sanitizing power.

If you don’t want alcohol wipes, we also found some of the best alcohol wipe alternatives, made from natural ingredients that are gentle on surfaces — and your skin.

Whether you’re looking to keep your hands germ-free, or want to disinfect your surfaces, we’ve found eight sets of cleaning wipes in stock that could help do the trick. Follow our links to add a couple packs to your cart to try them out, or stock up on these wipes while they’re still available and purchase them in bulk, before sites are sold out again.

1. Sugle Antibacterial Wipes

These multi-purpose wipes for both sanitizing hands and surfaces. The formula is gentle on skin, while being safe enough to use on most surfaces too, from wood to granite and even stainless steel. That makes it great around the house or office, to wipe down appliances, bathroom fixtures and high-touch surfaces like doorknobs and light switches too. The wipes are also suitable for use on small electronics, like your phone, computer screen and tablets. This pack gets you 80 disposable sanitizing wipes in a resealable package.

The company says the wipes are effective at killing 99.9% of most common germs and allergens while leaving your hands gently cleansed and refreshed. It’s not clear if there is alcohol in the formula, however.
