wouldn't have had electric vacuum cleaners. Since there was at least one crewman for every passenger (i.e., steward and/or stewardess per cabin), they would clean a cabin's carpet by hand with a whisk and long-handled dustpans. Same with any lounge areas that had carpets. Large, luxurious throw rugs were more common than anything else. Cabins in first & second class were made to look like small, warm country estate rooms.
