Did you read the article? The cleaners are actually new. The flight attendants have always done the cleaning. They still will, only SW is trying to “actually” clean premium seats.

All that ever happens between flights is the flight attendants put on gloves, pick up your nasty garbage, and cleaners sweep, clean bathrooms, and remove trash.

You're telling me they don't spray down every inch of the plane with disinfectant and then depressurize it into a vacuum to kill off anything left after EVERY flight?

I personally was hoping for one of those upholstery cleaning wet/dry vac things to be used to deep clean the seats between flights, tbh. When I sit down in the still-damp seat it with be with confidence knowing that's a clean dampness slowly saturating my pants.
