Gutter Cleaning Tips

Make gutter cleaning easier–and safer –with a long spray wand made from a half -in.-diameter by 10-ft.-long PVC pipe.
Then use PVC cement to join these short sections and 2 90-degree elbows with what’s at present a 9-ft.-long pipe, forming a J-shaped hook.

At the shorter bit of the hook, glue on a solid endcap. Drill three one / 8-in.- diameter holes in the cap. Attach a threaded adapter onto the opposite end of the pipe and fasten a garden hose.

Place the short bit of the J-shaped hook in the gutter and switch on the hose. As you walk along the house, high pressure streams of water will wash the gutter clean.
