Fall is officially here, and that means leaves are falling. From
deep within the Carey Brothers' vault, we reach down for ways to clear
rain gutters with ease when they're clogged with leaves. Indeed, says
here: Think safety first; use a sturdy ladder on solid ground and use
the right tools to get the job done right. First keep a bucket or trash
bag handy topside so you won't have to dump debris along the way.
Special gutter-cleaning tools are available, too, such as the handy
gutter-grabber with an 18-foot extension pole that safely pulls leaves
into you from both sides without the need for dangerous overreaching.
There is also the companion gutter-getter scoop that lifts leaves out
once you got them where you want them. Gutter cleaning is now easier,
faster and safer. Now you can watch football without feeling guilty.
Look for the gutter-getter and more at your local hardware store. And
that's the On The House tip for today.
