mildew on gutters
Does anyone know the best product to use to clean mildewed gutters? I have a stucco house and am worried about cleaner running down onto the stucco and damaging it. I tried pressure washing with just water and no luck. Please advise. thanks in advance.

I recommend Jomax, available at Walmart, Lowes, or HD in the paint section for around $20. Use a one gallon sprayer, mix with bleach and water. Rinse off with a hose after a few minutes. No pressure washing necessary.

I use windex and rag, little elbow grease takes it off.

Pressure washing won't always take it off. When I pressure wash homes, I use an outdoor bleach solution in a sprayer, followed by a pole mounted brush.

In my opinion, it's a waste of time and money applying that product. Even customers who swear by it frequently need their homes pressure washed as frequently as people who don't use it.

Bingo. Wipe it down with a rag and Windex. You can do the whole house in a couple of hours.

For $100, my pressure wash guy does the gutters, the whole house, scrubs the driveway and curbing and walkways using Simple Green with the pressure washer. It does a fantastic job and any runoff doesn't harm the shrubs on the grass. It's a once a year project. The $100 also includes a $10 tip.

Now for my mixture it is very easy. Use ERA laundry detergent cup to a gallon of water ( maybe a touch of Bleach if you want) and a soft Blue brush extension from harbor freight which cost about 20 bucks so you can do it from the ground. Wet gutters and overhang first and than dip brush into bucket, lightly scrub and wallah spray off. God i love my brush lol. |
