Gutter Cleaning

Hello
I don't wish to hire someone to do this as I'm tight.
Have been thinking about clearing out my gutters for a while. It sure of the best way to do this a little cheaply.
I thought of the Karcher gutter cleaner and although it could work, I think it'll be more hassle (as I guess it'll spray the leaves out - they'll go everywhere).
I then thought about a very long pole that I could use with some sort of brush on the end to just scrape it along.
I don't have a large ladder, hence looking for a remote cleaning solution.
I do have access to one gutter down the side of the house as I have an extension that I can stand on and reach the end of the gutter where the down pipe is.
Any other ideas?
Cheers

Ask the local window cleaner who might do it for a tenner or so.

A tenner extra a couple of times a year when he comes to clean the windows takes care of it in my case.roddydogs said:Tenner, youll be lucky.0 -
My window cleaner did it for £30.
There were people knocking on doors asking £700 -
You can't clean something you can't see. You need to be up a ladder.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0

It would work if you had a ladder to climb up and place it in the gutter.anotheruser said:Hello

Just get a company to sort. Have to pay yes, but much safer.
