How is the best to get the grime off of second story gutters?

I have a very high second story gutter on the back of my house I would like to clean it some how. I don't think it has ever been cleaned since the house was built. (I am the third owner) I tried a power washer but it didn't seem to get much of it off. Any thoughts? Should I add something to the water to act like a scrubbing agent? I am willing to try anything.

home depot and Lowe’s has cleaners you can connect to your hose!
Here's a link to products that are designed to clean gutters, siding, etc. Some can be attached to a hose. https://www.rustoleum.com/search-results/?searchStr=house%20cleaner
I first spray it with water, then take this mixture by mix this into a gallon bucket. 1 gallon water, 1/2 gallon bleach, 1 cup of spicnspin, 1 cup liquid tide detergent, mix well then put,it into a sprayer, the one that you pump up, then spray. After you wet the gutter with water first, then spray the mixer on the gutter let it there about 1 minute, then spray it with water to rinse it off. Use a short section at a time. You might need to do it again, it depend on how dirty it is.
It is great if you have a power washer to use it at the final rinse.
I hope this help you. I use this on my siding, and almost everything that is out side. Just be careful with how much pressure on the powerwasher.
Good luck and let us know how it goes!
