Window Cleaning to Gutter Cleaning

Those boys from Window Cleaning Resources talk in this weeks edition about gutter cleaning (the perfect winter window cleaning add-on) & DI/RO storage for winter. Also Jaret the 11 year old superstar is mentioned + more. This video contains a parental guidance certificate!



This is Jeff Brown from Reflections Window Cleaning, you may also remember him from his sign making business. This Video was shot using a digital still camera set on video mode, so not the best quality. The video is to help those interested & to see what is involved with gutter cleaning using the Telescopic lance. Jeff adds - Reflections window Cleaners and the Water Fed Pole Training Academy except no responsibility for injury caused by using this type of equipment and they recommend you work with an experienced operative to gain experience before attempting to use any high pressure equipment.



Here's the pitch from Gutter Sense: - Cleaning a gutter with your bare hands can cause painful scratches and cuts. And climbing a ladder to reach second-story gutters is just asking for trouble. Instead keep your hands unscathed and your feet on the ground by using Gutter Sense, the easy-to-use rain gutter cleaning device!
This clever gutter cleaner tool features large polycarbonate "tongs" that will grab 14" of leaves or pine needles from flat-bottom gutters when you pull on the 12'-long braided rope included. Then just dump the debris in a trash bag or compost pile! You'll need to add your own threaded broom handle or extension pole to this gutter cleaning device, or get the Gutter Sense and Pole set (sold separately), with telescoping steel pole that gives you 4' to 16' of extra reach. Also on HSN shopping channel.



Remember the Looj? I remember they peaked in interest for a while but you still needed a ladder to stick them up there in the first instance. And of course they didn't fit UK gutters. Then of course if you could flip your gutter...



A Cumbrian entrepreneur has thrown his future into the gutter with a business venture he thinks will beat even the credit crunch. Former window cleaner Geoff Harney (pictured) has launched Cumbria’s first earth-bound guttering cleaning service. The 32-year-old has discovered a system which allows him to remotely view a gutter, then thoroughly clear it, without leaving the ground. He uses an ‘Omnipole’, which features a camera that relays images to a hand-held monitor so he can see what’s lurking before he starts the cleaning process. The pole then becomes a giant vacuum cleaner, sucking up the detritus and delivering it to a unit on the ground.
