With all the snow melted off the roof, I wanted to clean the dirt and shingle granules out of the bottom of my gutters to prepare for the spring rains. If your gutters are not very clogged, the absolute best tool you can have for cleaning is one of those dollar polydusters for dusting household items. Use a hose clamp or duct tape to fasten the handle to a broomstick or long dowel, then get up on a ladder and run the duster down your gutters, if you have the right length handle you can use the duster to dry scrub the debris loose, and even go under the hangars easily. Then you blow the loose debris out with a shop vac or yard blower. Some people use a hose to clean their gutters, and if they are really clogged you need a scoop and hose, but for small jobs of cleaning my method works just SUPER.
