Weight and Portability: Consider how easy the tool is to use and whether or not it is portable. If you need to move the tool around frequently, then choose one that is lightweight and easy to carry. Tools with a lot of weight may be more difficult to move around. The Worx WA4096 Leafjet Blower GutterPro attachment might be a great choice for folks who’d prefer to blow their leaves out of their gutters than spray or climb. It comes with four extension tubes, an angled elbow that serves as the nozzle, and a universal adapter that fits all leaf blower brands with nozzles up to 5 inches. Tape a tarp or drop cloth gently over prized plants around your home’s perimeter to avoid dousing them in detergent.

Along with your gutter-cleaning tool, you’ll need a sturdy ladder if not using a tool that reaches the gutters from the ground, you’ll definitely want a pair of work gloves for handling the grunge, and you’ll need a trash can to toss the collected debris, or a bag or tarp if you plan on carrying it to your compost bin or pile. Of course, if you are using an attachment designed for use on a garden hose, pressure washer, shop vac, or leaf blower, then you’ll need that piece of equipment as well.

Steps For Pressure Washing Gutters

Just spray the cleaner onto the sides and bottom of your rain gutters—it can also be used on siding—and then wipe with a sponge or cloth attached to an extension pole. That's it! Your gutters will look much cleaner and better, and while you might not think that's a big deal, you'll be surprised at how much clean gutters boost the appearance of your house. The spray comes in a 32-ounce bottle, but a gallon-size bottle is also available if you have a large house with lots of rain gutters to clean.
