Clorox says demand for its wipes is up 500% during the pandemic.
"We are making wipes in record numbers and shipping them to stores in record numbers," Clorox CEO Linda Rendle told "Good Morning America" on Monday.
Since January, Clorox has made 100 million more disinfecting products than before -- a 50% increase, Rendle said.
Clorox is now making nearly 1 million packages of disinfectant wipes every day, Rendle said.
Last week, Clorox said customers will see a shortage of their wipes and other products into next year.
"Given the fact that cold and flu sits in the middle of the year, and then we expect the pandemic to be with us for the entirety of the year, it will take the full year to get up to the supply levels that we need to be at," Clorox President and CEO-elect Linda Rendle said Monday in a call with analysts to discuss the company's earnings.
