People love when the leaves change colors in autumn, but homeowners hate it when those leaves start falling off the trees into their gutters. Cleaning the gutters is an annual chore that most homeowners would love to outsource to their teenage kids, but not everyone has that luxury. Like most home chores, there is a proper way of cleaning your gutters. Experts recommend setting up your ladder close to a downspout and clear of any electrical wires. Set up a tarp below the area you’re working to collect anything that falls. Hook a bucket to the top of the ladder and use a trowel to scoop any big debris out of the gutter and send it straight to the bucket. Work in the direction away from the downspout. Once the main debris is cleared, bring a hose up the ladder with you and blast the remaining muck toward the spout. Voila!
