Be sure to keep your gutters extra clean all year to maintain an even, clean, flow of water. We've found a brand new, American Made, wet/dry vac attachment tool that fastens to any 2.5" wet/dry vac hose and literally "vacuums out" all gutter debris, wet or dry, while you stay firmly on the ground. No ladders needed with the Gutter Clutter Buster. It can be seen on their respective web page and you can also view various videos on how simple it is to use and the benefits you derive from using this method, in light of other methods that are ineffective, unless you enjoy more clean-up afterward. This newly invented tool, eliminates the need for any clean-up; as, all debris goes directly into the vac canister and then can be dumped around your plants for extra mulch or into your compost pile. Your gutters will flow faster and cleaner rainwater is dispensed into your rain barrel. Just a thought for those who hate keeping their gutters clean, but want the benefits of rainwater usage.
