Removing slide-in footer from homepage only

Hi there everybody.
I was hoping someone could help me out with an issue i’ve been having.

I’ve successfully added a slide-in/slide-out footer to my website by altering the theme footer.
The problem I am facing is in trying to remove the footer from the homepage only. Adding css to hide the footer does not work, leaving only a blank template to slide in/out.

I guess the changes I have to make are to the footer.php

If anyone can assist me in doing so, I would be so grateful!

Thank you.
