My crew and I were on Flight ABC. The first thing we did was check the galleys for any form of hand sanitizer or wipes and gloves. A few boxes of gloves had to be brought to us before we could start security checks. There was nothing we could find to wipe down our own personal seat or even the galley and restroom areas; but thankfully some of us had our own antibacterial wipes. The cleaning crew did their job in clearing out all the trash and trying to make the plane look presentable; but anything beyond that didn't happen and it made the whole crew feel uncomfortable to even work or bring passengers on board knowing that the plane was filthy from a few flights before.  There was a lack of supplies for all the lavs; we could only hope the ZZZ stop would be able to supply them with more paper towels and hand soap. Thankfully; when we got to ZZZ1; they brought some hand sanitizer (I doubt the individually wrapped moist towelettes are of any good use for sanitizing efforts in common areas we are responsible for; but that's what we received). I had to improvise with using the hand sanitizer and regular paper towels to wipe down the restrooms and galley. A few passengers noticed that their monitor didn't look like it was wiped and asked one of my colleagues if we cleaned the plane.My greatest concern is being able to do my job with safety as my top priority; which includes being a little more diligent with possible health concerns during this pandemic and the best I can do is being hindered. I understand back orders and low supplies; but it is disheartening when we have to operate under these conditions.
