Gutter Scoop
To keep your gutter cleaning routine simple, all you really need (beyond a ladder, bucket and gloves) is a basic gutter scoop. That’s the key to doing the job right.
Will any type of scoop do? Not really — gutter scoops are flexible and designed to reach under gutter supports, making the task that much easier. Plus, gutter scoops are affordable. The popular Gutter Getter is less than $10, and can sometimes be a lot cheaper depending on where you shop.

Extender Wand
Even with a ladder, you might not be able to see and/or reach every section of your gutters. To ensure you don’t miss a spot, consider this tool designed to alleviate the problem.
The Eden Watering Wand attaches to your garden hose and extends up to 66 inches. Plus, the nozzle rotates 270 degrees, making it that much easier to wash the gunk out of all the nooks and crannies.
If there’s a lot of caked-on gunk, though, a garden hose attachment might not offer enough pressure to remove it all. In this case, an extension wand that attaches to a pressure washer, such as the Agiiman cleaning tool, is the way to go, Similar concept, but with a 4,000 PSI boost.
Whichever of these gutter cleaning tools you use, your gutters will thank you.

Leaf Blower Attachments
For those who need to clean their gutters but also want to keep two feet on the ground, a leaf blower is a viable option. If you go this route, make sure the tool actually reaches your gutters, like the Toro gutter cleaning kit. It includes blower attachments like a nozzle, shoulder strap and five extension tubes. Make sure the kit you choose works with your particular leaf blower, too; the manufacturer’s specs will provide this information.
One thing to keep in mind with this tool: It works best on dry debris. If you’re dealing with a lot of wet debris, be prepared to take extra steps to finish up. You might need to break out other gutter cleaning tools like your pressure washer to clean the mess left behind.
