If in-flight cleaning is needed, cabin crew should follow routine airline procedures using personal protective equipment available in the Universal Precautions Kit.

Some airlines use anti-bacterial cleaning agents, while others simply use ordinary cleaning sprays - they're simply pushing the bacteria around without killing it. United is one of those airlines that don't use anti-bacterial spray, and they have flights and aircrews that go to Africa. Something to think about on your next flight.

Umm . . . it doesn't matter whether they use anti-bacterial sprays or not, since Ebola is a virus.
