Aviation Cleaning

When an aircraft commences a flight, boarding passengers should see an attractive and immaculate cabin interior. During flight conditions deteriorate, and therefore at each transit stop, or during quick turnrounds at terminal airports, rapid tidying is necessary . Usually time will not permit a complete cleaning operation; nor is this possible when passengers remain on board. The extend of cleaning will be dependent on the amount of time available; at all events priority must be given to the removal of litter and dry waste and the cleaning of toilet compartments and galleys.
