As you know only too well, your roof gutters are a long way up and not exactly the easiest things to take care of. After all, to clean them you need to climb to the top of a ladder. Or do you? If your ladder is broken, or you don’t have one, or you just don’t like heights, there’s no need to sit around watching your gutters become clogged. There are other ways to keep your gutters clean and free of debris without requiring a ladder.
Let’s start with one of the easiest non-ladder gutter cleaning methods. A controlled stream of water will wash away small debris and remove it from your gutters; that’s easily achieved with a telescopic hose attachment available at hardware stores or garden centres. Sure, this method may leave you a little wet and slightly on the dirtier side, but at least your gutters will be sparkling clean.
Another effective way to clean your gutters without the use of a ladder is a gutter vacuum. These tools clean your hard-to-reach gutters while you keep your feet firmly placed on the ground. With a gutter vacuum, you can carry out the job and stay much drier than if you were using a hose.
The third method is gutter cleaning tongs which grab the debris and lift it directly out of the gutters. Maneuver the tools by using a rope attached to a metal pole which can be extended to your gutter’s height specifications.
The fourth and final method is one of the most common. Yes, it’s the use of brush or rake attachments which can assist in the release of caked-on mud and debris which have built up in your gutters over the months or years. This is a great option if it’s been a while between gutter cleans.
