Your gutters can get dirty and grimy over time. That’s not surprising since it is exposed to the elements all the time and dirty water from your roofing gets washed down on it whenever it rains. Dirty gutters can make your home look older than it is, so it’s important to do gutter cleaning in Langley every now and then. The best time to do gutter cleaning in Langley is at the end of the fall season when your gutters are likely to be inundated with debris.

Here are some steps that you can take if you want to do gutter cleaning in Langley:

1. Get your cleaning equipment and tools ready.

You need a tall ladder to access your gutters. Buy a sturdy pair of rubber gloves. If you have a shop vac and you have an attachment that you can use to access your gutters, use that as well. The vacuum cleaner with the right attachment can suck dead leaves away from the gutters with ease.

If you don’t have a vacuum cleaner, get a small garden shovel ready. Make sure you also have a hose and an all-purpose cleaning solution to remove the stains from your gutter.

2. Position your ladder carefully.

Make sure you can access your gutter safely. You would want to get the help of a family member to hold the ladder and keep it stable. You don’t want to fall and hurt yourself.

3. Get rid of dead leaves and debris.

Don your rubber gloves and use your hands to remove dead leaves. If you have a shop vac, let it do its work. If not, just throw the dead leaves to the ground and clean it up later. You can also use your garden shovel to quickly remove the dead leaves.

4. Flush out the remaining debris.

Use your water hose to flush out the remaining debris. Use a high pressure to effectively unseat grime and dirt. This will also help loosen up or completely get rid of molds or algae that have formed in your gutters.

5. Clean the stained areas.

If there are stains on the outside of your gutters, spray it with the all-purpose cleaner. Get a scrub with a long handle and scrub this area to remove the stains. If you don’t have an all-purpose cleaner ready, you can try mixing a cup of bleach in 4 cups of water and add a teaspoon of your brand of liquid dishwashing soap at home. The bleach will effectively remove the stain and also kill algae and molds that have grown there.

Because of the position of the gutters, they can be hard to clean. If your gutters are too high, better leave gutter cleaning in Langley in the hands of professionals from Complete Gutters, so you don’t put yourself at risk.
