If you have a tree growing in your gutter, you're long overdue to clean them out. But there is no need to wait this long again because it is really quite easy to clean them!

Before you start, put together a gutter cleaning kit. You'll need a bucket, a pair of heavy duty gloves, a small trowel, a pair of tongs, and a plastic soda bottle with the bottom cut off.

Place a ladder against the side of the house. Make sure it's secure, but not resting against the gutters - that can cause damage.

Use the soda bottle to clean out the debris. The bottle is the perfect size for the job and the top makes a nice handle. Leaves and muck should be scooped out and put into the bucket. If it is really gross, the tongs will come in handy, because they can reach into more compact places.

4. Use a hose to flush out the area. The water pressure should clear away any messes that have been left behind.
