Your gutters do more than just hang on your house and look pretty. They are designed to have an important job. That job includes catching all the water and or debris that falls on your roof and carrying it all someplace else so that it is away from the bottom of your house. The issue is that all debris is going to get caught in the gutters and that's going to cause problems. That is why you need to make sure that you are cleaning out your gutters on a regular basis. You need to have some things so that you can clean your gutters safely. 

Sturdy Ladder

One of the things that you are going to need is a sturdy ladder. Your ladder should have a wide base with big feet. That is going to give it a lot of stability when you are climbing it. You don't want to stand on top of an unstable ladder. You should also have someone else around who can help spot you on the ladder and hand you things while you are on the ladder. The fewer times that you have to go up and down the ladder, the better you are going to be. 

Work Gloves

You also want to have some sturdy work gloves; you will be grabbing things out of your gutters and tossing all of that stuff out. You don't know what is in there, and you really don't want to find out what is in there by stabbing your hand on a sharp stick. That would definitely make your day a lot worse and slow down your gutter cleaning. But, a good stout pair of work gloves, in leather or canvas can help with that. If you get rubberized gloves, then not only are you going to protect your hands, but you will also keep them dry. 

Phone Number

If, for whatever reason, you don't feel like getting up on a ladder to clean your gutters, there is a much easier way for you to handle it. That way is for you to get the number of a gutter cleaning service and hire them to do the job for you. They will already have all the necessary equipment and they are going to be able to get the job done quickly.
