I doubt it. Think about this though, whilst the floor may get a quick Hoovering, how often do you think a cockpit actually gets properly cleaned? Is it

b) Only in a month of Sunday's

I know plenty who have antibacterial wipes in their bags and use them to give some of the surfaces they touch a clean up. Wearing gloves is not such a daft idea really.
