Ten reasons the new Fontus is the ideal portable cleaning solution
We’ve recently launched the Fontus , a new cordless solution for small to medium sized cleaning tasks both at home and on the go. It’s portable, with no need for mains water or electricity as long as you make sure it’s completely charged and the tank is full before you head out and about.
The Fontus is not a high-pressure washer, but has sufficient performance for a range of cleaning tasks thanks to its 15L tank, which holds enough water to clean up to three muddy bikes, and it has a generous 60 minute maximum runtime. With four spray patterns, three pressure modes and an attachable SmartBrush, it’s highly versatile and can be adjusted to tackle all sorts of jobs. Here are ten ideas on how you could use your Fontus to start you off:
Caravanning and camping
With many campsites located off the beaten track, water and electricity supplies can be difficult to access if you need to wash off your equipment, or even yourselves, after a day out and about. The Fontus is the ideal camping companion, enabling you to clean your kit on the spot and save the interior of your tent or caravan from the inevitable mud or sand that comes with a holiday in the great outdoors.
Outdoor hobbies
If you have outdoor hobbies the chances are you’ll have lots of expensive kit that needs maintaining and handling with care. Mountain bikes, surfboards, hiking gear and other equipment all get dirty when well used. With the Fontus you can clean muddy or dusty items there and then rather than transporting everything home and risking bringing the dirt back inside with you.
Day out with the kids
A day out with the kids can often result in dirty pushchairs, scooters, sports equipment and wellington boots. Wash them down before you get in the car and you’ll save yourself having to clean that off too!
Pets
Use the shower jet function for a gentle clean suitable for mucky paws and coats, or just cooling your furry friend down in the heat. Or how about rinsing horses and muddy boots at a riding stable or cleaning out hutches or pens for other animals? The versatility of the Fontus make it suitable for these tasks and many more.
Garden furniture
Whether it’s washing down after a winter season in storage or quickly sprucing up for a last minute BBQ, we all like our garden furniture looking it’s best. Don’t worry about unravelling your hose or electric cable, just wheel the Fontus straight to it and you’ll be done in no time.
Plants and greenhouses
If you’ve got a large garden with areas the hose just won’t reach, you no longer need to complete endless trips with a watering can. The shower jet function is perfect for gently watering all of your precious plants and your Fontus can be neatly stored away in the shed in no time. Or, use a stronger jet and clean down the greenhouse for a sparkling finish.
BBQs
We all love a summer BBQ but cleaning it can be a chore many despise. With a 15° fan jet for precise cleaning the Fontus can help you complete this unpopular task with ease.
Children’s toys
Cobwebs and general garden dirt can put kids off using outdoors toys, sandpits or playhouses and generate lots of complaints. A quick wash with the Fontus will get them playtime ready again in minutes and put a smile back on everyone’s face.
Vehicles
If you need to wash your car or motorbike and you’re not within easy reach of a hose or electricity supply, the Fontus is the ideal solution with a 15L capacity and maximum 60 minute runtime. The 50° fan jet is perfect for larger areas and the SmartBrush helps to remove stubborn areas of dirt, before being neatly packed away inside the Fontus’ integrated storage compartment.
Bins
Putting out the bins can be a dirty, smelly job especially if your bin lives outside all year round. The Fontus is great for an all over clean, and the pencil jet spray is good for getting into hard to reach places inside the bin or under the rim - getting rid of stubborn dirt like bird mess, algae and mud with ease.
