Tips To Make Your Gutter Cleaning As
Simple As Possible
• Ladder
– You need an extending ladder. Ideally, when gutter cleaning, you’ll want to be above the
height of the gutter. While you can lean your ladder against the gutter this does increase
the chance of breaking the guttering or the ladder slipping.
• Gloves
– Waterproof gloves, preferably ones which go up your arms, are a good idea. You’ll be
scooping out decaying leaves and other debris which is not pleasant. At leaves gloves
will keep you from exposure to bacteria while gutter cleaning.
• Scoop It
– You need to take a plastic scoop with you. This will not just prevent you from getting
cold hands it will also make your gutter cleaning task much easier. A small scoop which
fits inside the gutter channel will work best. Simply scoop the muck out of the gutter
and into your bag.
• Flush It
– The scoop and your hands will remove most of the debris from the gutter. However, it is
important to make sure all the small debris is removed. The easiest way to do this is
simply to flush your gutters with water. They should be completely clear by the time
you’ve finished. You can even scrub them clean but this is not really necessary.
