Cleaning & Sanitation Chemicals for the Railway Industry
360-Degree Cleaning Solutions for Indian Railways.
- INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Railway Cleaning is Not Optional. The Stakes Are Too High.
Indian Railways carries millions of passengers every day. Every locomotive, every coach, every pantry car and every washroom must meet stringent cleanliness and hygiene standards — not just for passenger comfort but for operational reliability and public health compliance.
Poor cleaning in a maintenance depot leads to premature component wear and unplanned shutdowns. Poor sanitation in passenger coaches generates complaints and damages the passenger experience. Poor hygiene in pantry cars creates serious food safety and public health risk.
REFA supplies a 360-degree range of specialized cleaning and sanitation chemicals covering every railway cleaning requirement — from locomotive engine room to coach washroom to station platform.

Challenges We Solve
Heavy Oil and Grease on Locomotive Components
Locomotives and rolling stock accumulate heavy oil, grease and carbon deposits over operating cycles — requiring powerful, fast-acting cleaning within tight maintenance window times.
Bacterial Contamination in Passenger Coaches
High passenger throughput means rapid bacterial contamination on coach surfaces — standard cleaning without proper disinfection redistributes contamination rather than eliminating it.
Food Safety Compliance in Pantry Cars
Railway pantry cars are subject to the same food safety standards as commercial food service — requiring food-safe chemistry, effective grease removal and proper surface sanitization.
Urine Scale and Persistent Odor in Washrooms
Coach washrooms accumulate urine scale and persistent odors that standard cleaners cannot resolve — masking the problem rather than eliminating it, generating ongoing passenger complaints.
Our Railway Cleaning Chemical Range

Our range covers heavy duty degreasing for maintenance operations, hygiene and disinfection for passenger areas, food-safe chemicals for catering operations and facility maintenance chemicals for depots, platforms and stations.

Real Results for Railway Operations
- Railway Maintenance Depot
Coach Care Centre, North India
Challenge: Persistent washroom odor in passenger coaches despite regular cleaning — passenger complaints continuing. Standard disinfectants masking odor temporarily but not eliminating the source.
REFA Solution: REFA toilet cleaner and odor neutralizer introduced as a two-stage process — first stage removing urine scale and bacterial contamination completely, second stage neutralizing odor at the source rather than masking it.
Result: Persistent odor completely eliminated within the first cleaning cycle. Passenger complaints reduced to zero on subsequent journeys. Coach care centre adopted REFA washroom cleaning program across the entire fleet.
