Hi; I am a 76 year old lady who lives alone and it has gotten to be a chore to climb a ladder to
clean the gutters. So I have discovered a gas leaf blower with a long attachment with curved end to just start and aim the blower end in the gutter and just walk along and blow out all leaves and sludge. dream to use and works great. I still have to climb a ladder to remove branches and branch pieces. but not big issue anymore. Found mine online just ask for blower attachment to clean gutters. There are several out there and not expensive.
I go up on a ladder with a bucket and pull out all of the leaves. You have to keep moving the ladder to get all around the house. If you have a leaf blower that works too. I wear gloves, it gets messy.
I use two people for a safe guard, for holding the ladder. We use a blower to first blow off the roof and then blow out the gutters walking the gutter perminter, it’s easier to walk and blow them out then up and down the ladder a million times. Then flush them out with the hose with power nossell while walking the perminter of the gutter. 📌 The rule of thumb is 3 times a year, we have installed gutter guards and shields they don’t hold up and clogged and you Still have to get up there to free the leave off them, waste of money 💸 BEEN THERE THEN THAT
My hubby and son both use our leaf blower from up on the roof. With the weight of the blower, they won't let me do it. If I do it, I get on a ladder and use the scoop from my bird food bin to scoop it out. Another way is to get the high pressure attachment for the hose that expands in length, they work fairly well, too, and you can do it from standing on the ground.
I tried using a leaf blower for my gutters last fall and this guide is pretty spot-on. Just make sure you use the right nozzle and start at the downspout so everything blows toward you instead of into your face :) Also, I read some LeafGuard reviews before deciding not to go with a full gutter protection system, and a lot of people mentioned that even with guards, you still need to do some cleanup, so learning tricks like this is super handy.
Hi Don: Well, you get up on a ladder and then blow the leaves and debris out of the gutter. Or, if you don't want to get up on the ladder, you can make an attachment to put on your leaf blower using lengths of downspout and the curved ends. Make it long enough to reach your gutters. If it doesn't fit your blower, you can attach it with duct tape. I'm not sure how much air power you will get, though. You can make the same thing out of pvc pipe and attach it to your water hose. Here's a site with loads of ideas: how to make a gutter cleaner out of pvc pipe - Search Videos
Get up on ladder or connect with Gaffer tape a length of drain pipe add connectors and elbows as required and then switch on. It would help if you made a sketch of the shape reuired first and then construct and fit to blower.
Every time I clean my mirrors, they end up having tons of streaks and almost look worse than before I started. What could I use to clean them that won't leave streaks... See more
I recently used Wet & Forget on some wood siding and haven't seen results, yet. I sprayed it on the house about a month ago and wanted to see if I should give it ... See more
My question as I watched these grandparents was always, "Why are you sweeping your yards, and why is there no grass around your house?" We have grass around ours.
Used to clean them by hand, now I get on the roof and use my leaf blower way faster.
A leaf blower is the fastest way to clean gutters. Get up on the roof and walk around the perimeter blowing the debris out!!
get up there and clean them by hand !!! I use a blower after I get most out !

If everything is dry, just use your leaf blower.
You can actually get an attachment to blow leaves out of your gutters that you attach to your blower. My husband loves his and so does our neighbors.
You would have to get the covers or if you have a blower buy the kit for extensions to blow the stuff out.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPh6sfIS058

It seems I really need a leaf blower.

Climb the ladder and direct the blower into the Gutter, or attach Vac hose with Gaffer tape.
From the ground you would need to attach with Gaffer tape a Vac Hose or Down pipe and turn to be able to do it.
Hi Don, hope this helps you.
