Yes, I actually had a mop in one hand, my swiffer in the other and the hose tied around the top of the ladder all the while balancing on the ladder (not too smart there). I would "mop" the underside of the gutter to remove all the moldy gunk that has been growing there for a while, spray, dig the gunk out of the gutter with the swiffer, spray, mop the underside again, spray, dig, spray, you get the idea. Needless to say my arms felt like wet noodles afterwards and I had dead leaves and mud stuck to my hair and face, not a pretty sight. But boy did I feel like I accomplished something after finishing it!!!! But I do think I will hire someone next time. I'll keep you guys in mind!!!!
