American Flight Attendant Reveals Seat Pockets Are Dirtiest Part of Planes: "Dirtier than Toilets"

• Flight attendant Brenda Orelus has shocked plane passengers by saying that the back seat pockets are the dirtiest parts of a plane
• According to the glamorous beauty, passengers put things like discarded food, used tissues and even dirty nappies
• Some cleaners who watched her video on TikTok, however, disputed her sentiments saying that they do clean the pockets well

An American flight attendant has revealed that seat back pockets are the dirtiest part of a plane because they never get cleaned.

Seat back pockets are riddled with germs

Brenda Orelus, from Miami, USA, candidly talked about how seat back pockets are riddled with 'germs' and do not get regular maintenance or cleaning, unlike the toilets.

Orelus, who goes by Flight Bae B online, told her 98,000 TikTok followers that she's seen passengers put all sorts of things in their pockets ranging from discarded food to used tissues and even dirty nappies.

"Did you know seat-back pockets are the dirtiest surface on the aircraft? They're dirtier than the toilets, the seat cushions and the tray tables," Brenda said on her TikTok page.

They're never cleaned

"It's because they're never cleaned. Unless somebody vomits or there's something ooey, gooey and pus coming out of there, it doesn't get cleaned," she emphasised.

The glamourous air hostess pointed out that aircraft cleaners take the rubbish and other items left behind from the pockets but don't wipe them down.

The new information saw many users express their disgust in the comments and many shared what they have seen fellow flyers store in the seat pockets.

Chenille Lovehall:

"I was on a flight where a guy took of his mask, sneezed into to his hand, then wiped it on the safety manual/menu in the seat back pocket."

A cleaner, however, chimed and said this wasn't always the case and that they do clean seat pockets in aeroplanes.

"That’s not true I work as airplane cleaner & we actually have two teams for each plane. One takes trash and vacuums the other team deep cleans each 1," said Brooklyn Cantrell.
