It's always a god idea to clean your gutter before the first rain but if you din't do that probably you should clean them after the first freeze. Here are few gutter cleaning tips to help you clean out the leaves and debris and scoop out all the sediments before they rust in the gutters.
To clean the gutters you must have the right equipment:
- Ladder
- Gloves
- Scoop
- On and off hose
- Bucket
- Gutter soap
In fact Gutter cleaning is a team activity because there are security measures that can't be adopted if you work alone and the gutter cleaning takes a lot of time if you do just by yourself.
First of all to clean up the gutters the cleaner set up the ladder, climbs on it and reach for the leaves.
Then the gutter cleaner starts to pull them out and puts them in a bucket. The gutter cleaner must always be sure to not overreach the gutter or he risk to fall on the ground.
Another annoying fact of this work is that you have move the ladder frequently to clean all the perimeter of the gutters.
After the cleaners has removed all the leaves, he starts to scoop the gutters to remove minor debris from
the gutters. Only after that he can wash the inside of the gutters using a special soap for outdoor materials. To complete the cleaning that the gutter cleaner must get of the ladder and climb on it again many times; this is the most hassling part of the gutter cleaning job.
Now finally the gutters have been washed with water and soap the work is finished and your gutters can start to functioning properly again.
