Do you know how to clean your gutters?

First, you’ll need a ladder. A fiberglass ladder is recommended due to it being very sturdy. If you don’t have a fiberglass ladder an aluminum ladder is our next recommendation.

Protect your hands and eyes! Gloves are good for germs as well as safety to your hands so we suggest wearing thick gloves. Your eyes are also Important! Debris and water and many other things will fly up and you don’t want things getting in your eyes especially while you’re on a ladder.

A spray nozzle garden hose is suggested. That way you can adjust the pressure levels when blowing the leaves out of your gutters. You don’t want to use too much pressure it could cause damage or loosen things up.

Many use a scraping tool for those stubborn leaves and things stuck in your gutters but that can cause rust so we DO NOT suggest using a metal scraping tool.
