In today’s world, it seems that almost any topic is open for debate. While I was gathering facts for this article, I was quite surprised to find some of the issues I thought were settled are actually still being openly discussed.

For those of you who are interested in cleaning your own gutters. A pressure washer takes all the work right out of this task. With an extension and a gutter cleaning attachment you can safely clean your gutters with a pressure washer. This means that anyone that can operate a pressure washer can clean thier gutters themselves. By cleaning your gutters on a regular basis you can even save yourself money in the future by eliminating the possibility of clogged gutters that can hold water against your fascia causing rot and possible leak into your home.

If you own a two story home you’ll love owning a telescoping wand. This will allow you not only to be able to clean your gutters, but your siding sofit, and other out of reach areas. These wands can be extended up to 24’ and retract for easy storage. Your gutters may have black streaks all over them and scrubbing from the roof or a ladder can be dangerous. By using our 503 chemical and a bleach mixture, 1 part of each to 4 parts of water, and a pressure washer your gutters will like new in no time. Never use bleach or any acid through your chemical injector, these chemicals can damage your internal components of the injector, and your gun.
