Gutter cleaning is perhaps the least enjoyable home maintenance task in every homeowner’s to-do list. However, it greatly contributes toward the preservation and prolonging of your roof and your gutters’ service life. Needless to say, gutter cleaning is a must. That being said, gutter cleaning is not without its challenges. If you’re a homeowner wondering how to simplify the tedious process of gutter cleaning, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s how to do the job without a ladder.
Use What You Already Have
You don’t need to buy fancy and often overpriced tools to clean your gutters from the ground. All you need are tools you probably already have in your garden shed. If you’ve got a leaf blower or an outdoor vacuum with “reverse” functions or features, then you can get to cleaning as soon as the weather permits. You can always borrow a wet/dry vacuum from your neighbor if yours is out of commission.
Purchase Gutter-Cleaning Attachments
Gutter-cleaning attachments are readily available in most hardware stores and can easily fit over most standard vacuums and leaf blowers. These attachments are designed to hook into your gutters. Just don’t forget to purchase enough extension wands so you can reach the upper levels of your home.
Invest in Gutter Covers
Leaf blowers and outdoor vacuums can help keep you off the ladder, but the only truly foolproof and permanent way to keep your gutters clean is with a good gutter protection system. And, among the many gutter guard companies out there, only Gutter Helmet® can guarantee that you’ll never have to clean your gutters again. Unlike other gutter covers, Gutter Helmet effectively blocks debris from entering your gutters while letting rainwater into them.
