WHERE is your sanitizer, wipes, mask?

Where are you finding pump hand sanitizers that fit in cup holder? Anyone find wipes that fit in rear cupholder?? Where besides the rear view mirror (not working out for me) do you keep your mask?

I have a hand sanitizer in the front cubby (I don't have wireless charger), mask slipped into the visor. I also have a sanitizer and interior detailer with microban in the trunk organizer.

Ha ha - funny thread.

X3MC here - I tried the rear view mirror for my mask but it had two issues 1) Blocked my vision, 2) twisted all up.

I hang them from the gear shifter. My hand sanitizer is a small bottle in the arm rest, and I have a thinner bottle for the wipes in the door drink holder.

When one of the big bottles/containers of wipes runs to about half, I fill up this thin bottle/container.

As we're approaching summer and if you park your vehicle outside, be prepared for a lot of dried up wipes and sanitizers.

I've kept wipes in my car for decades before COVID (I'm a bit of a germaphobe).

As long as you keep the top sealed, they tend to stay moist as the evaporation stays in the container (for the Clorox ones anyway).

I cannot say the same for the baby wipes in the foil packaging.

My bigger issue has been the freezing in the winter

I concur. Foil packaged wipes, definitely no, haha.

My buddy had leather care wipes in the plastic packaging (baby wipes) dry up in week stored in the arm rest.

If there is one benefit to COVID, it is that people no longer look at me like I'm a freak by wiping down shopping cart handles and constantly using hand sanitizer (when I can't wash with soap and water).

I got this way from getting a stomach virus (it was really bad and I did not want to repeat) and I rarely get colds now. It's nice to see everyone else join me lol.

I got yelled at for keeping the sanitizer in the closed arm rest - "dirty hands were contaminating the latch".....

Oh I'm the same way, haha! Just wrapped up immunotherapy and I've been sanitizing for the past 3 years, LOL. No odd looks with wearing my PPE mask out in public 👍🏼

I keep a travel bottle of hand sanitizer in the center console armrest area.

I don't keep any Clorox wipes in the car and will just do an occasional wipe down of the high touch areas once at home.

I honestly don't go out too much right now since it just hasn't been necessary, so for now I just have a mask sitting on the front passenger seat. If needing to move it I'll likely just toss it in one of the door cubbies.

Hi,
we use Zoono Z71 for our house and cars - kills germs and viruses for 30 days - so no need to keep treating it every day!
we use the Zoono hand sanitiser every morning - lasts for 24 hours and does not use alcohol so does not kill your hands!
cheers
steve

We had some ahead of the pandemic occurring so we were in theory all set. I did get a couple of mid-size pump bottles of the Amazon branded hand sanitizer after checking one day and saw they were available.

I've also seen it become increasingly available on different sites like Walmart, Walgreens, and Staples. It is hit or miss when it is in stock though and sometimes when available online you can only get free shipping with minimum orders of say $35 plus so usually isn't worth buying as shipping charges will be just as much as the bottle itself.

Wipes are in the door cubby, and I've taken the large bottle of hand sanitizer out of the car...

Ah no wonder the peeps from shipping company removed my 1L bottle of Purell on the side of my driver's door... I thought they just stole it to wash their hands lol (this was pre-pandemia time). I always got my Purell and sanitizers ha
