Gutter Cleaning -- What would you like to see?

[allisonhester 30]

Our next issue of eClean, due out the end of this month, will tackle gutter cleaning (among other things). So my question is this: what specifically would you like to see us cover? Please post your responses here, or email them to me at allison214@live.com.

 

Thanks!

Excuse me for being dense, but are you refering to cleaning gutters out, or cleaning the gutter's exterior?

Both. People have suggested gutter cleaning methods, but also gutter whitenting...so i'll do both

As far as gutter whitening, I would like to see product comparisons. Gutter Grenade, Gutter zap, super clean..etc etc. Maybe in different temps too.

 

With clean outs, I would like to see how people are doing the job. I use the old fashioned bucket and rubber glove method. Then I run a hose down the downspouts. Works every time.

 

I've heard of people using vacuum systems on them. I would like to see the effectiveness of that.

That is exactly how we do it as well. 

 

Allison was kind enough to use a picture of my son Zach rinsing out a gutter after scooping the debris.

If you want to use a great product for cleaning the outside of gutters, use Kurd kutter for metal. It does a great job. I have used it for my business for years. I used to use simple green, but the smell can be overwhelming. If I had my choice though, it would be Krud Kutter. It is made by rust oleum.

I purchased a scoop that is attached to an extension pole from window sourse seems to work fairly well. Just push the debris to the side then pick up and place it in bucket
