Gutter cleaning (in Clovis) can be a daunting task! But with the right DIY guide and some elbow grease, it's easy to tackle. First off, gather your supplies: gloves, ladder, trowel or scoop (for removing debris), hose and bucket (to direct water away from your house). Then climb up that ladder and start inspecting your gutters. Look for any blockages caused by leaves or twigs, then remove them using the scoop. Once the blockage is out of the way, use the hose to spray the gutter clean - make sure not to hold it too close as this can damage the gutter.
Moving on(!), you may notice some dirt build-up in certain areas due to weathering or bird droppings. To get rid of these stains, use a specialized cleaner like Simple Green Gutter Cleaner or a mild detergent mixed with water - just remember to test it first on an inconspicuous area! After that's done, rinse everything off with clean water and you should have sparkling gutters in no time!
Finally, if there are any cracks or holes in your gutter system (which isn't uncommon!) they should be patched up with caulking compound so that they don't cause any further damage later down the line. This may seem like an intimidating job but with a little effort and preparation you'll soon master it! Good luck!
