I haven’t read enough of this thread to see if this has been posted, but I looked online for Staples cleaning supplies about a week ago and literally the only product they had in stock was paper towels. Then today they sent out this email:

Dear Valued Staples Customer,
We know your company is working hard to navigate the current landscape and keep employees and customers healthy, so I am reaching out to keep you up to date on product availability related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
This past week has seen a spike in demand for certain cleaning and paper products as well as hand sanitizers. In addition, some products may be impacted by manufacturing delays.
Please know our teams are working around the clock, closely monitoring our supply chain, partnering with our key suppliers and actively sourcing alternatives.
If items are out of stock, we will mark them clearly on our website. As they come back in stock, we will refresh the site to show you they are available.
We will be in touch with more updates as soon as we have them. I thank you sincerely for your patience.
Joanne Harris
Chief Commercial Officer, Staples, Inc.
