Autumn is a beautiful time of year, but it can also be a lot of work. With all the leaves falling, it’s important to make sure your gutters are clean so that they can properly drain water away from your home. If you don’t clean your gutters, the leaves can build up and cause clogs, which can lead to water damage to your home.
Here are the steps on how to clean your gutters after the leaves have fallen:
- Gather your supplies.
You will need a ladder, a gutter scoop, a hose, and a bucket. You may also want to wear gloves to protect your hands. - Start at the downspout.
