Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / Facility management / cleaning | | German term or phrase: Durchgangsreinigung | This is from a cleaning manual for planes - company doing the cleaning is ISS facility management, but I have so far been unable to locate this term...T cleaning - what does the elusive T stand for - transit cleaning?? Any ideas?
2. Durchgangsreinigung (TC)
2.1 Zweck
Die Durchgangsreinigung (TA) wird auf allen Flugzeugen bei einer Bodenstandzeit bis zu XX Stunden durchgeführt. Die Durchgangsreinigung stellt von der Reinigungsintensi-tät her, die niedrigste Reinigungsstufe dar und dient zur augenscheinlichen Beseitigung der Verschmutzungen im Flugzeug. Bei dieser Reinigungsart werden nur die notwen-digsten Reinigungen im Zuge einer Sichtreinigung, also der Entfernung vom Fluggast leicht erkennbaren leichten Verschmutzungen, durchgeführt, so dass geringe Boden-standzeiten gewährleistet werden können. „Leicht erreichbar“ schließt z.B. das öffnen von Fächern, saugen von Sitztaschen, reinigen von Telefonfächern oder Schienen aus. |

| | quick transit cleaning | Explanation:
"World at work: Aircraft cabin cleaning
TASKS OF THE JOB
Airline companies usually contract out cabin cleaning to aircraft services companies.
There are basically three levels of cleaning services for the aircraft:
quick transit cleaning,
overnight (lay-over) cleaning, and
deep cleaning.
The types of services rendered depend on the duration of stay of the aircraft at the airport. The tasks in a typical quick transit cleaning involve: (1) seat cleaning, (2) seat pocket cleaning, (3) ashtray cleaning, (4) galley cleaning, (5) toilet cleaning and replenishment, (6) floor cleaning, and (7) blanket management. Lay-over cleaning is more thorough and in addition to the above processes includes: (1) floor vacuuming, (2) window cleaning, (3) stowage cleaning, and (4) cleaning of the cabin crew resting area. Deep cleaning includes all the above tasks but in a more extensive manner." |
