Gutter cleaning is a chore that many of us dread (and with good reason). It's dirty, smelly and time consuming! But there are ways to get your Richmond gutters clear and clean in no time. First off, don't put it off too long; the longer you procrastinate, the more difficult it will be to get them cleaned up.
Start by gathering all the supplies you'll need: a pair of gloves, a ladder (if neccessary), a bucket or bin for debris, an extendable gutter-cleaning tool, and protective eyewear. Once you have everything ready to go, it's time to begin.
If your gutters are filled with leaves, twigs and other debris you can start by removing them by hand. Wearing gloves will help protect your hands from any sharp objects. This may take some time but it will be worth it in the end since you won't have to worry about clogs blocking water flow later on.
Once all large items are removed then you can use the extendable gutter-cleaning tool to reach into corners and crevices that were hard to get at before. Make sure not to leave any spots uncleaned as this could cause future issues with water drainage!
Now that everything has been swept out of your gutters its time for one last check up - make sure there isn't any standing water or buildup left behind after cleaning out the gutters. If so use a wet/dry vacuume or mop to remove all excess liquid and debris from inside the gutter system itself - don't forget those hard-to-reach places!
And Finally, once everything is finished give your gutters one final inspection just to confirm they're completely free from dirt & grime! And that's how you get your Richmond gutters clear & clean in no time - quick & easy (though still a bit messy)!
