7 Most Dirty Objects In Aircraft Cabins

Breaking news: dirty aircraft, but that should not surprise many people who watch thousands of people enter this metal tube and fly for hours from one destination to another. But how dirty is this plane, and which part is the dirtiest? The Travelmath website recently sent a microbiologist to swap the inside of an airplane and find the dirtiest. The result is not pretty and after reading you may be tempted to get into Hazmat's bag while you are on an airplane (or at least bring some antibacterial tissue).

1. Floor

Watch the reaction of airline staff as they see someone walking down the aisle of a plane with bare feet, we're sure they're wincing. That's because the floors are really dirty. Stop and think about what touches the floor of an airplane; dirty diapers, mud-wrapped suitcases, vomit, dirt from people's shoes, food and who knows what else. Notice people came to the plane wearing flip-flops and understood that these shoes were a way to get rid of dead skin cells, or how did a woman cut her toenails in her seat and let her fall to the floor? The worst thing you can do is to go barefoot to the restroom, where who knows what awaits you on that floor. Do not use the "5-second rule" when you lower the food, take care of his shoes and pack some hand sanitizer if you feel the need to touch the floor.

2. Pillows and Blankets

For airlines that recycle their pillows and blankets, you should not use them, for obvious cleanliness reasons. However, apart from this reason passengers from around the world are still continuing to take blankets and pillows for free. Unless sealed in the wrap, stay away, because once you touch the pillow, you run the risk of contracting anything contagious that people may experience before. Ticks, herpes, colds, flu, these are just a few things that can live on solids. Many airlines refold the blanket and put it into the upper compartment between flights, and pass through the washing stage. In addition, pillows and blankets often end up on the floor, and as you've read, the floor is not a clean place to contact.

3. Shades Window

There are two types of passengers on an airplane; hallway of people and windows of people. If you are a window seat person you most likely want to see outside, or use the window as a headrest while trying to catch some zzzz drinks. The tricky truth is that although the shades of this window are rarely cleaned and when your face is pressed against it, you have to remember that the other person's face was pressed against him a few hours earlier. Like a tray table, the feel of plastic windows is a potential germ farm and bacteria can live up to 120 hours in single color. Think about unwashed hands that push down and draw the shadows, and think of a watery nose and saliva from people's mouths. Unlike the bathrooms that are released several times a day, it is unlikely you will see a stewardess coming through the cabin while wiping the window cover after every flight.

4. Seat Back Pocket

Have you ever put your book into a chair bag in front of you, or what about a food wrapper? Have you ever stopped wondering how in the world they are cleaned up? The simplest answer is that they are not often cleaned and therefore a breeding ground for bacteria. Next time you fly, put your hand down and feel how much dirt and crumbs are there (and then wash your hands immediately) and we guarantee you do not want to keep anything there. From dirty diapers to food to spilled drinks using Kleenex Kleenex, everything goes in this safety bag. It should come as no surprise that you see their air purifiers using gloves to reach their pockets to clean it up. Our best recommendations; avoid pocket bags like the plague.

5. Seat Belt

This is one thing you should touch, for your own safety, but we recommend using a hand sanitizer after doing so. That's because the seat belt is one of the dirtiest things on the plane, and it's not just the buckles that collect the food and the dirt but the real seat belt. Fabrics create the perfect setting for bacteria, which are collected from people's clothing and skin. Seat belts are rarely cleaned, let's be honest, and do not be replaced until necessary. Think about a toddler eating a cracker and pounding it in their hands, then touching the seat belt in many places. Think about people who have seat belts on their skin, or people who blow their noses, do not wash their hands and then curl. It may be the best strategy to fold once, clean the hand and refrain from touching it.

6. Bathroom

It's surprising that many bathrooms are not the dirtiest of planes on the plane, but they come in at number two with disgusting discoveries. So what's the dirtiest part of the bathroom? The flush toilet button is actually the dirtiest part, not surprising to see how people touch it without first washing their hands. The bathroom lock was also very disgusting and often forgotten by the janitor. The reason the bathrooms do not make it number one in terms of dirtiness is because they are cleaned several times throughout the day. Unlike a tray or chair table; The bathroom is a priority in cleaning. It is said that we still recommend washing your hands, many, before and after being in the airplane's washroom.

7. Tray Table

Meet the dirtiest things on an airplane, and you happen to eat out there, put your stuff on it and do not think twice about the bacteria that might be in it. Interestingly enough, microbiologists are not surprised by these findings because they are beside human skin, bacteria like to stick to plastics. Think about the sugary drinks spilled on the tray table, the dirty diapers where their parents, the dirty hands of the kids who had not washed them for hours and suddenly did not seem to surprise how dirty the table was. is. Combine that with the fact that tray tables are often bypassed by airline staff as they clean and you have the dirtiest item number on an airplane. The next time you think of placing your apple in the tray before biting it, remember what else might be in the tray before your apple.
