Jagdish Khubchandani, a public health professor at New Mexico State University, previously told The Huffington Post that it's "unlikely" liquid on the floor of plane toilets is water. Leysha Perez, a regional flight attendant in the US, recently told Insider: "It's not water that you're seeing on the bathroom floor sometimes, it's probably bodily fluids that you're walking in," she told It is perhaps with techniques such as this in mind that flight attendants urge passengers to keep their shoes on at all time. "I've seen it so many times, I'm not surprised at all," Marika added. She claims to have witnessed a cleaner wiping surfaces in the cabin with the same rag he had just used to wipe the plane toilet floor.

Perhaps even more upsetting for those who endeavour to get away from the grime is description of her cleaning practices. "When the crew goes to 'clean the lavatory', what that really means for a lot of them is that they just lock themselves inside for five minutes to check their cell phones," she said, Mail Online reported.
