Sanitizer
by Amy Goldyn 17 Jun '20

17 Jun '20

Hi! I just wanted to pass along a great deal I found for sanitizer. I was able to find liquid hand sanitizer from Blake's Orchard & Cider Mill in Armada for $25 a gallon. The normal price is $30 a gallon, however; if you buy 10 or more cases, you will get the price break. Each case has four gallons in it. This sanitizer doesn't have the typical strong alcohol smell, it has a mild apple scent. Thanks, Amy Goldyn Finance Manager Genesee District Library 4195 W. Pasadena Ave Flint, MI 48504 Phone: 810-230-3334 Fax: 810-732-1161
