Hi!

The safest way to clean eavestroughs at home is to use a sturdy ladder on level ground, ideally with a stabilizer, and wear gloves and safety glasses. A gutter scoop or small trowel works well to remove leaves and debris, and a garden hose can flush out remaining dirt.

For high gutters, a telescoping gutter-cleaning tool is a good option. Many homeowners find it helpful to clean eavestrough at home twice a year in spring and fall, but more often if trees overhang your roof. Installing gutter guards can also help reduce buildup and make maintenance easier.

Always prioritize safety over speed.
