After autumn, when your roof gutter has overflowed. And waste and debris are flowing into your house. It becomes necessary to clean your gutters.

The traditional method of cleaning roof gutters involves climbing a ladder and manually removing all the waste. However, climbing a ladder alone can put you at risk of injury.

Here, we will discuss how to clean high gutters from the ground without a ladder to help you clean your gutter with your feet still on the ground.

How To Clean High Gutters From The Ground

1. Use  A Gutter Cleaning Wand Hose Attachment

There is a special attachment made for the garden hose for cleaning high gutters called a gutter cleaning wand hose attachment. You can find this attachment at a home improvement store near you or on Amazon.

Before cleaning, wear a raincoat and goggles to protect yourself from debris and water. If you don’t have a raincoat, at least wear goggles.

• Turn on the water hose and flush the gutter from one end to another.
• Stop for a while to let the excess water drain away.
• If you feel anything obstructing your way, pry it with the hose to remove it.
• Repeat the process until the gutter is clean again.

2. Use A Leaf Blower Extension

The ‘leaf blower gutter cleaning kit’ is an attachment to a leaf blower that allows you to clean up all the leaves accumulated in your gutter. Ensure the gutter is completely dry before using this extension.

• Wear safety goggles before you start cleaning
•  Place the attachment on your leaf blower.
• Position it at the tip of the gutter and blow from one side to another.
• Repeat the process for the entire gutter.

This method works best if the gutter is dry. If it’s not, you can try a different method.

3. Use A Power Washer with Telescoping Wand Extension

A power washer is a better option for cleaning a gutter than a regular water hose, as it uses pressurized water, which can remove dust and debris more effectively and remove heavy objects like branches.

Use a telescoping wand extension with the pressure washer to reach the gutter.

• Put the extension at the top of the gutter.
• Turn on the power and start cleaning.
• Hold your ground and work your way from one end to another.
• Repeat the process till the gutter is clean.

Be extremely careful while using a power washer, as it can have a powerful kickback. Ensure that you are standing firmly on the ground while using it.
