Gutter Cleaning Tools

There are other gutter cleaning tools that are meant for use from a ladder. When debris builds up and is wet and packed it is sometimes necessary to get up on a ladder to break up the clogs. Debris can be very difficult to remove when it becomes wet and packed. Water stays in the gutter when the gutters and downspouts become clogged and it keeps the debris wet which packs it tighter and makes it impossible to blow it out or scoop it with a gutter cleaning tool from the ground. Sometimes the only way to clean the debris out is to get up on a ladder where you can reach it better. Always use extreme caution when using a ladder to clean gutters. You will be up and down the ladder a lot and it can become wet and slippery from the debris you are removing from the gutters.

Some gutter cleaning tools are made to cut through clogs and debris better than others. Using one of these tools makes your job much easier when you are facing a tough job. Always choose the right gutter cleaning tool for the job whether you’re faced with dry loose leaves or stubborn wet and packed debris. Also consider the height of your gutters and the difficulty in reaching them.
