Cleaning Guttering

We have white plastic guttering, and the fall pipe has become very dirty and stained since we had a blockage and it overflowed at the top. Does anyone have any suggestions for cleaning it? Thanks

    Whenever i clean the guttering out i just use a small garden trowel and take a bucket up there.
    If you mean to clean the actual downpipe from being dirty, what about hot soapy water and a plastic pan scrub.

    Tried plenty of soapy water and scrubbing it, but nothing seems to clean the stains, and don't want to scratch the surface too much.
  • What about Flash with bleach, or any kitchen/bathroom cleaner with bleach?

    Used more bleach than Jordan's hairdresser - is there any specialist cleaning materials on the market?

    What about the stuff you get to clean Upvc window frames.
    I have a 1ltr bottle from 'everbuild', ....solvent cleaner. I think we bought it in a builders merchants.
