Same here an old bucket hooked onto the ladder and a small trowl to scoop it out with.
No need for fancy detergents to wash guttering with? good old fairy does an excellent Job, even on the green mouldy ones, I have posted many pictures on here of guttering work and all done with fairy.
As and from today no more going up ladders to clean guttering, I will be using the gutter lance.
