How Freshtrax Works
Freshtrax is a shoe sanitization machine for fitness and sports centers. Four technologies work together to eliminate bacteria, fungi, and odor from athletic shoes in 90 seconds.
The Only UVC Shoe Sanitizer Built for High-Traffic Venues
Engineered for the demands of fitness centers, pickleball clubs, and sports facilities where hundreds of shoes pass through weekly. See full machine specs →
The Process
Four simple steps to sanitized, refreshed shoes.
SELECT
Choose your cycle & pay
INSERT
Mount shoes on internal steel rods
REFRESH
Close the doors and the sanitization process begins
UNLOAD
Shoes emerge sanitized and refreshed
The Science
Four complementary technologies for comprehensive sanitization.
UVC Light
LOCATION
Located on the steel rods inside the chamber
HOW IT WORKS
UVC radiation (250-270 nm wavelength) disrupts microbial DNA and RNA, causing strand breakage.
WHAT IT TARGETS
Eliminates bacteria, fungi, viruses, and biofilm-forming microorganisms.
CLINICAL EVIDENCE
Clinical studies show 91-95% bioburden reduction on treated surfaces (Torres-Teran et al., 2023, ICHE).
Ozone
LOCATION
Generated on top of the chamber where the tube generates ozone on the spot and circulates it throughout
HOW IT WORKS
Ozone (O₃) is a powerful oxidizing agent that breaks down odor molecules and organic compounds at the molecular level.
WHAT IT TARGETS
Eliminates odor at its source and targets bacteria, fungi, and parasites.
CLINICAL EVIDENCE
Recognized in peer-reviewed literature as an effective sanitization method for fungal infections (Gupta & Simkovich, 2022, JAPMA).
Antimicrobial Vapor
LOCATION
Dispersed through vents in the steel rods to penetrate footwear from within
HOW IT WORKS
Disperses antimicrobial agents throughout the shoe interior via vapor, reaching fabric fibers and internal surfaces.
WHAT IT TARGETS
Targets bacteria and fungi in hard-to-reach areas within shoe materials.
CLINICAL EVIDENCE
Safe formulation that complements UVC, ozone, and heat, and leaves shoes with a fresh scent.
Heat
LOCATION
Applied inside the chamber as the final stage of the cycle
HOW IT WORKS
Heat kicks in at the last stage. A gentle heat cycle dries the inside of the shoe, removing the moisture that bacteria and odor thrive on.
WHAT IT TARGETS
Targets residual sweat and moisture inside the shoe, the main fuel for odor and bacterial growth.
CLINICAL EVIDENCE
Works alongside UVC, ozone, and antimicrobial vapor so shoes come out dry as well as sanitized.

Frequently Asked
Everything you need to know about how Freshtrax works.
What happens inside the machine?▼
The machine uses four sanitization stages: UVC light disrupts microbial DNA, ozone eliminates odors at the molecular level, antimicrobial vapor reaches internal shoe fibers and leaves a fresh scent, and a final gentle heat cycle dries the inside of the shoe. This multi-stage approach ensures comprehensive sanitization.
Is it safe for all shoe types?▼
Yes. The sanitization process is designed to be safe for athletic shoes, casual footwear, and most shoe materials. The antimicrobial vapor and UVC light do not damage shoe integrity or materials.
How often should shoes be sanitized?▼
For athletes and frequent users, 2 to 3 times per week is recommended. For casual use, weekly sanitization is sufficient. The more you use your shoes, the more bacteria and fungi accumulate.
Can I monitor cycles remotely?▼
Yes. Owners have access to a real-time dashboard that tracks all cycles, revenue, machine health, and usage patterns. This allows for remote monitoring and data-driven business decisions.
What's the difference between this and shoe sprays?▼
Sprays only mask odors temporarily. Freshtrax eliminates odor at the molecular level and kills pathogens throughout the shoe, not just on the surface. Clinical studies confirm the effectiveness of UVC and ozone sanitization.
