8 Hand Sanitizing Wipes That Meet CDC Recommendations

Amazon

Cleaning supplies have reigned supreme this year thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. While you may have once patiently waited for a restock of popular jeans or a buzzy skincare product, now, you’ve likely grown accustomed to seeking out essentials like hand sanitizer, toilet paper, and cleaning wipes after they’ve sold out. Although Clorox Wipes will still be hard to come by for the foreseeable future, you can stock up on hand sanitizing wipes from other top brands for personal use now.

An alternative to hand sanitizer in gel and spray forms, hand sanitizing wipes are great for using on the go. You can easily pop them in your bag or car and use them while running errands, doing outdoor activities, or heading to work. When you don’t have access to water and soap, they’re the next best thing. Not to mention, you can use them to wipe down surfaces around you, like door handles, gas pumps, and subway poles — something that traditional hand sanitizers simply can’t do.

Along with being travel-friendly, some wipes also include ingredients like aloe to keep your hands from drying out. Of course, the most important thing to look for on the label is the alcohol content. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends using hand sanitizers with at least 60 percent ethanol (ethyl alcohol) or 70 percent isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) listed as active ingredients.

These are the best hand sanitizer wipes:
