Gutter cleaning in Baltimore can be a (daunting) task for homeowners, especially if they don't have the right tools or know-how! But don't worry; with these DIY tips, you'll be able to get rid of all that gunk in no time. Firstly, before you begin your project, make sure to wear protective gear such as gloves and eyewear. Then, get your supplies ready - an extendable ladder, garden hose and some low-sudsing detergent are must-haves.

Next up is the actual cleaning - this requires a bit of elbow grease! Start by rinsing the gutters with the hose to loosen any debris that's stuck on. Once you've done that, use a scoop or trowel to remove any large clumps from the gutter itself. Afterward, fill a bucket with warm water and add some detergent (preferably one which won't harm plants). Now it's time to scrub! Dip your brush or sponge into the solution and work it around the gutter walls until all dirt has been removed.

Finally, rinse off again using your hosepipe and check for any stubborn patches which might need extra attention. If everything looks good then great job!, you're done! However (if there are still some areas that need more work), repeat this process until they are adequately cleaned out.

Nowadays it's easy (and affordable) to hire professionals who will take care of this tedious task for you but hopefully these DIY tips have given you the confidence to tackle it yourself! Good luck everyone - remember safety first when working at heights!
