How to Clean Private Jets or Airplanes

A clean cockpit and passenger cabin contributes to a safe flight operation and passenger comfort. The properly cleaned aircraft interior also helps eliminate airborne diseases that cause cabin sickness in flight. All well-maintained aircraft should have a clean, good-looking interior. Aircraft interior cleaning usually takes an hour for small private jets and up to several hours on large commercial airplanes.

      Wash cooking and eating utensils such as the coffeepot, plates and forks with detergent on a sponge. Rinse off the dish detergent. Wipe dry the washed items with a dry towel before placing them into their storage area.

      Spray the galley counters and cabinet doors with a kitchen cleaning detergent. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.

      Use a towel with a disinfectant cleaning product to clean the toilet and lavatory counters. Make sure you read the product label before using it. Avoid using ingredients that can pose a fire hazard to the aircraft interior. Do not use abrasive solvents that can harm the surface that is to be cleaned.

      Vacuum the cockpit and cabin floor. Use appropriate vacuum attachment tools to clean the cockpit and passenger seats and window sills. Be careful not to scratch any surfaces when using the vacuum attachment tool. If the aircraft has leather upholstery, such as leather seats, use a leather cleaning product to wipe such material by following the directions on the product package.
