Badminton requires dedicated indoor footwear, which means the same shoes are worn session after session on shared courts. Freshtrax keeps those shoes clean, your courts cleaner, and your members healthier.

The Problem
Badminton culture already enforces a shoe-change at the door. Players know to keep outdoor shoes off the court. That discipline is good for your floors. But those same indoor court shoes wear session after session without deep cleaning. Sweat, bacteria, and fungi accumulate inside the shoe and transfer onto the court surface every time a player steps on. Freshtrax was first piloted at a badminton facility and the results were clear: regular shoe sanitization measurably reduces the bacterial load on court surfaces and virtually eliminates odor complaints in the facility.
How Freshtrax Helps
Badminton players already swap shoes at the door. Adding a 90-second sanitization step fits naturally into that habit, with no behaviour change required.
Dedicated indoor shoes sound clean in theory. In practice, they accumulate months of bacteria and odour without any washing. Four-stage sanitization changes that.
Freshtrax was validated at a badminton center before scaling. Real usage data from a real court environment underpins our understanding of what works.
For Venue Partners
The kiosk operates in the lobby or shoe-change area, outside court space. Revenue accumulates from every player visit without any impact on court availability.
Badminton communities are trust-driven. A visible hygiene investment tells players and parents that your facility takes health seriously.
Cleaner shoes mean less bacteria and debris transferred to your court surface. Members who regularly sanitize contribute to lower overall maintenance requirements.
Zero staff time required. The kiosk handles payment, operation, and diagnostics automatically, and upkeep is a quick monthly vapor refill and wipe-down by the owner.
FAQ
Is this the venue where Freshtrax was originally piloted?
Freshtrax was first deployed at a badminton center for real-world operational testing. That pilot validated our usage assumptions, pricing model, and sanitization results.
Where in the facility does the kiosk go?
Most naturally near the shoe-change area or lobby, exactly where players are already handling their footwear. The kiosk becomes part of the existing shoe ritual.
Is the sanitization process safe for badminton court shoes?
Yes. The process is designed for athletic footwear and does not damage materials including the non-marking rubber soles required for indoor court use.
Can the venue itself own the kiosk?
Yes. Venue owners can buy their own kiosk through the Freshtrax Founders Club, with a $79/month platform fee and 0% service fee on the founding kiosk.
