Cleaning Gutters and Downspouts

May 3, 2012

I would like to know how to best clean and keep leaves and debris out of the small/narrow gutters that line the patio and carport of a mobile home.

I own a mobile home with type of gutters you're talking about. Barely large enough to get your hand in. Used a black and decker blower with 230mph speed and blew out leafs and dirt. The blower has 2 speeds and did a great job. I did have to put my hand in the gutter and loosen the mud/dirt. Just get the nozzle over the openings, it won't go in but doesn't have to.

You will need to be on a ladder and wear goggles and a mask to keep dust out of your nose and mouth. You will get very dirty.
When you finish, rinse your gutters by running water in them to make sure everything is clear. I had to take some downspouts(bottoms) off because clogged . Easy to do

This took me about 3 hrs to do about 60ft

This is a page about leaning a ladder against a roof without crushing gutters. When you need to make repairs or clean gutters, your ladder needs to lean on the house often against the gutters.

For many homeowners, cleaning out and inspecting gutters and downspouts is an unpleasant, yet unavoidable, chore that has to be done at least once or twice a year.

I used Car Wash, purchased from Walmart, to clean the gutters, vinyl siding, heat and air conditioner and the awnings. It cut the dirt quickly and left a nice finish. I really like this product.
