Footprints Environmental Technologies is a 100% Indigenous owned and operated company providing safe, environmentally friendly and effective sanitisation services in the workplace, home and community. Beginning operations in the Pilbara region of WA, Footprints Environmental Technologies has now grown to service other states and territories around Australia, with a new base in Darwin, NT. Originally specialising in the sanitisation of mattresses, Footprints has grown as a result of demand for its highly effective and accredited equipment, and its outstanding customer service. The Company now also offers a range of sanitising, disinfecting and deodorising products and services, including Bacterial Control, Infection Management and Mould Treatment. The variety of applications for commercial, industrial, health, consumer and residential use is extensive. We use only proven, substantiated products, and we currently offer the only device that safely provides hospital grade UVC Germicide Sanitisation. “We are increasingly entrusted to help protect the community from the threat of viruses, microscopic bacteria, moulds, mildews and dust mites - all of which can and do cause serious health issues.”
Our company values Health Footprints is committed to improving the health and wellbeing of our communities. The health of our clients is paramount, and we recognise that healthy individuals mean a healthy community. Health care access in many Aboriginal communities is limited, so the flow-on effects of improving sanitisation and general hygiene are considerable.
Environment We are proud of our positive impact on the environment, which we achieve by offering an alternative to using harmful and volatile chemicals. Footprints does not use any chemicals or disposable products, and as our clients do not need to use these products either, this saves them money and further helps the environment.
People As a proudly Indigenous owned and operated Company, Footprints is committed to creating opportunities for local Indigenous employment that are real and sustainable. Engaging in meaningful work, our staff travel to a variety of venues and use superior technology equipment that is safe and relatively straightforward to master.
Community The Footprints team has experience working in the mining, building, hospitality and government employment sectors, and we understand the cultural sensitivities required when working with Indigenous people and their communities. The potential for staff members to own and run a sanitisation service in their own community has far-reaching benefits. Mattress sanitisation has commercial and domestic opportunities which are achievable in most parts of Australia. “Health care access in many Aboriginal communities is limited, so the flow-on effects of improving sanitisation and general hygiene are considerable.”
Why is effective sanitisation so important? Microbes in the form of bacteria, viruses, mould, mildew, fungi, algae and other organisms present health risks which can lead to outbreaks of viruses, illnesses and other health problems. Left untreated, or treated ineffectively as is commonly the case, this exposure to germs and diseases can result in poor health, loss of work time and pressure on the town’s health services. A healthy business environment reduces employee sickness and absenteeism and increases productivity. In certain sectors like accommodation and health care, comprehensive mattress sanitisation is particularly important. Aside from the need to provide a safe and healthy sleeping environment, it is vital for companies to achieve high customer satisfaction, as this will ultimately affect the reputation of the company and its overall success. Many other industries and sectors also experience substantial benefits to achieving complete sanitisation and resistance to microbials.

Equipment MATTRESS SANITISATION – REMUVE Germicidal Ultra Violet Light Footprints uses the ‘RemUVe’ technology for its 100% sanitised mattress service, which is currently Australia’s only substantiated mattress sanitising machine. RemUVe employs UVC light and pure ozone to deactivate the DNA of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens – thus destroying their ability to multiply and cause disease. The RemUVe sanitisation process has a substantiated effective kill rate against micro-organisms of 99.9% (3 log) germ and bacteria reduction. Specifically designed for residential, commercial, industrial and medical applications, there are no chemicals, toxins, liquids or steam used, meaning the process is safe and the mattress is ready for immediate use with no drying period required. We currently offer Australia the only device that safely provides hospital grade UVC Germicide Sanitisation, which includes the hospital superbug MRSA plus H1N1 and Norovirus.
Proven results Zoono Z-71 is proven to be effective against a variety of pathogens including the hospital superbug MRSA plus H1N1 and Norovirus, and has over 100 independent test results from accredited laboratories located in New Zealand, Australia, UK, Germany, USA, Turkey, Taiwan, South Africa and Japan. It also has food safety approval from AQIS (Australia), and is safe to use on skin, and around children, pets and plants. The Zoono Company conducts ongoing research and development to ensure the efficacy and reliability of the product is continually challenged.
Products Footprints uses the trusted Zoono range of surface-acting antimicrobial products for commercial, industrial, health, consumer and residential use. Owned by a NZ company, Zoono is a 9th generation product that is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, long lasting and durable. Initially developed for the industrial, medical and textiles markets, the product range has now been expanded to suit the consumer market.
What is ZOONO? Unlike traditional sanitisers that kill bacteria by poison or alcohol dehydration, Zoono is a food safe, water-based surface sanitiser that works by ‘mechanical’ means. Applied as a fine mist, it can be sprayed directly onto hard surfaces or skin from a trigger pack, or fogged with a machine for commercial areas. It is ready to use and does not require mixing. Once dry (after approx. 10 minutes) the product forms a covalent bond with its surface and becomes
active – not only killing present bacteria and viruses, but also protecting the surface for up to 30 days (or at least 24 hours in the case of skin). When dry, Zoono resembles a film of microscopic pins that pierce and rupture the cell wall of pathogens – killing them using a process called ‘lysis,’ a similar principle to a pin popping a balloon. This method prevents resistance, mutation (the development of superbugs) and cross contamination. Zoono produces a range of commercial and retail products that are all quick to apply, highly effective and long lasting – saving time and money. They can be safely and effectively used on skin, leather, fabric, carpets, steel, chrome, aluminium, plastics, finished timber, glass, LCD screens and more. The Zoono GermFree24 Hand Sanitiser offers several advantages over the typical, alcoholbased hand gel sanitiser, including 24 hour germ protection and a non-drying, moisturised feel.
