Simple Tips For Rain Gutter Cleaning

Before you begin cleaning your gutters with any of the different tools or even with the gutter brush, you want to put safety ahead of all of it. Be sure you have a safe and secure extension ladder that is propped up against the side of your house, not your guttering. This is the most important safety tip of all. The last thing you want to be is yet another statistic of a fall from a ladder.

Next, have a pair of rubber gloves to use in cleaning out the sticks, leaves, birds nests and other debris from your gutter channel. Why wear gloves? I can tell you from firsthand experience that there is a lot of sharp metal and screws sticking out that will easily slice a finger. I’ve had it happen and I learned real quick to wear gloves.

Finally, use your water hose to clear the gutter of any leftover debris. That’s it, you now have a clean gutter.
