Prepare for Cleaning

Make sure you have a sturdy, safe ladder available to use. Ensure you have all the other materials you’ll need, including safety gloves, bags, rags for cleaning, and a small trowel. If you find your gutters are loose, you should hire a professional immediately for repairs. 

Use an Easy Technique

Inspect Your Work

After you’ve finished your cleaning, inspect your work by using your hose to spray water along the gutter. You’ll want to make sure there is no standing water and ensure the downspout isn’t plugged. If you need to, adjust the angle of the gutter to make sure everything flows properly. Standing water or any other potential issues should be checked out by a professional as soon as possible.
