    Hand Sanitizer or Wipes

    I am VERY new to the B&B arena, but one thing i did add to my rooms are - Make up Remover wipes so they do not use the washclothes and a full bottle of lotion per room. And now with what is happening out there, I probably will add a bottle of Hand Sanitizer. I have only had 1 customer take...
