"Plink Bin Fresh easily neutralizes foul odors and delivers lasting freshness in garbage bins and other tough areas where odor lingers. The innovative fragrance technology slowly diffuses to neutralize annoying odors, leaving garbage bins and the whole room smelling fresh and clean."

I use it whenever dishwasher liquid alone does not get rid of the disposal smell - it works good.

I didn't need any tp, as I'm usually well stocked with that , but I went to the back where the tp was kept to see for myself. The shelves were empty.

When things get back to normal, I wonder how busy the returns area of stores will be busy with taking back unused packages of toilet paper and hand-sanitizer.

They were closing early. Of course, no paper goods. Surprised to find no milk, no eggs and no frozen pizzas. Frozen food thin. This is bullshit. We have no confirmed cases as yet.. This is the result of scare journalism.

it is because people can't deal with it. You are implying the press has some specific motive to whip up fear......sounds like you are buying into the bee ess Trump scam to me. You don't have to watch or read or listen to the media. You don't have to believe everything they dispense.

We had to pick up a roommate from work. They are now closing at 11 to clean and restock. The shelves in most grocery aisles were very empty. The place was finally almost empty. It's been a madhouse for days.
