Gutter spray cleaners, including our favorite, Chomp! World’s Best Gutter/Siding Cleaner, aren’t for actually removing the leaves and other debris, but rather, for removing stains and other unsightly marks from your rain gutters once you’ve used another method to lift out the grunge. As a final step in your gutter-cleaning project, a spray cleaner can really help restore the appearance of your rain gutters, which helps freshen up the look of your home’s exterior. These typically spray on and then wipe off. Now, if there are some dirty spots or marks that just won’t come off, then you might have to move onto the final step. Whether it’s a gutter cleaning service or doing it yourself, keep in mind that you’ll most likely need a ladder at some time. It’s not unusual for a limb or other obstruction to get caught in a gutter, so cleaning them from the ground isn’t always an option. Ease of Use

Below are the most common and reliable types of products for cleaning your gutters. Your wet/dry vacuum can become your gutter-cleaning assistant with this kit from Craftsman, which works with any brand of shop vac having a 2.5-inch diameter hose attachment. The kit includes two extension wands, a gutter nozzle, and a blower nozzle. When all the pieces are connected, the attachment adds 47 inches of reach to your vacuum hose, so you can reach the gutters from the ground. The gutter nozzle is angled to reach right down to the bottom of your gutters, while the blower nozzle is designed to focus the blast of air when using the shop vac in the blow mode.Leaf blower attachments, including our favorite gutter cleaning attachment from Greenworks, are often universal, so they can be used with just about any brand of leaf blower. These are long extension attachments with a curved end that reaches into your rain gutters from the ground. You then use the air power to blow out the leaves. Generally, these attachments work best when the debris is fairly dry. You’ll still need to gather up the mess once it drops to the ground, though. The Gutter Getter scoop is easy to use. It can hold a lot of debris at one time, and I found that pinching the sides of the scoop together helped minimize spilling when removing it from the gutter. I liked that the tip conformed to fit the gutter but was also sturdy enough to chip away some of the buildup. It can be a little awkward to use at first, and it definitely requires a ladder, but I found it to be an excellent value for the price. While you might need to follow the use of this handy tool with a hose to remove wet residue, the gutter tool itself does a great job of scraping away the buildup of leaves and other organic debris and greatly reduces the amount of times you need to reposition your ladder by pulling gutter gunk to where you can easily reach it. You can also use the tool to loosen and remove debris that's gathered around skylights, chimneys, or other rooftop nooks and crannies. TOP TIP: If you opt for a generic model with multiple adaptors then make sure these adaptors are strong and really good quality! There is a considerable amount of force and pressure that comes from a pressure washer, so the adaptor is going to have to work under this pressure and keep the hose connected! Look out for connectors made out of metal (such as brass) as these will be considerably stronger!

And if you have few trees around your home, then an annual cleaning might be sufficient. Ideally, you want to avoid the red and yellow nozzles.

My only concerns were that it’s not useful for higher gutters and that its effectiveness will rely on the home’s water pressure.
