Need serious help!! How do I do gutter cleaning I need it for tomorrow

[hyunsolo]

Hi i am used to do the concrete driveway cleaning and this lady asked me to do drive way and gutter wash. How do I do gutter cleaning? I sprayed it with my power washing machine but no dirt came off. What should I do?
any chemical I should use?
I really need the help!!

Krud Kutter or Simple Green are alright and usually available at HD. Use full strenght or cut 10:1; maybe add some bleach...also heard the amonia in windex could work, but have not tried it. Question: Why do people take on work before they know how to do it?

The KrudKutter from Home Depot (blue, in the clear jug) will work just fine. What you will have to determine is whether the finish on the gutters will withstand the cleaning. Used full strength, KK MAY remove the finish if applied too aggressively. I would recommend diluting it 1 or 2:1 and apply with a soft car wash brush, unless you can reach them from the ground, in which case you can spray it on with a pump-up or even a spray bottle then rinse off.

Do not allow it to dry on the gutters and realize that any KK you get on the house will leave clean streaks.

you need to take a few minutes and do some searces on these boards. By now you ought to have an idea of what chemical does what. experimenting works best. start with highly diluted chem and see if it works then dilute less until it does. keep in mind that sodium hydroxide can strip paint, chlorine can damage plants, acids can do other damage.
Dont panic, figure it out, take the jobs (unless theyre totally beyond you) and explain to your customers that your not sure how to do it but you will get it done for them. They mostly will understand.
