It looks pretty handy, is the pad replaceable or removable?

I've never used it but it looks like it would work.

I never tried it, but I talked to people that has and they said it not as good as soft 10 brush head that holds a lot of material,

two reason it wouldn't work good, one you often have black streak directly below the gutter that it wouldn't get to, and it won't get in corners good. and we often do the leaders and I know it wouldn't work for that because they are grooved, so what are you going to do carry two tools around?

I agree a nice soft brush, also with the shape of that, you would have to keep a bucket pretty full to get the whole thing. I dont like to put alot in a bucket because of waste and accidently knocking it over.

Lil late getting here. Very good answers, bout scrubbing gutters. Didnt watch the vid, didnt need too. I seen that gutter scrub brush thing. Piece of chit!

Eric mentioned the green brush. Think he talking bout same one we use.

Scrubbing gutters. First you have to understand scrubbing gutters. There is no better word to describe it besides the word scrubbing. Is what it is.

First you want a soft bristle brush. Why? It holds more solution/soap. The bristles should be long and close together. Why? Holds more soap.

The act of scrubbing the gutters.

It's best if the gutters are wet first. Why? It helps spread out the soap evenly on the gutter.

Dip your brush in the soap, the first thing you are doing is getting the soap on the surface, no scrubbing yet. Get the soap on the gutters. Dont let it dry. Do sections.

Time your sections out so there is dwell on the gutter and it doesnt dry, before you scrub. Short back and forth motion works best.

You may have to do it again. If your soap is right they will come all the way clean.

The actual scrubbing... There is no elbow grease here. Apply it correctly. Just touch the gutters with the brush and back and forth.

I ask All Moderators to move this thread to the paid section.

 

 If not I'm gonna erase it.

I have used it on a few jobs, works good with light stains. Used it on a job with heavy stains along with a brush and it now needs a replacement pad.

excellent instruction Mike, that's how it's done, however some times I don't like wetting them first because now the chemical get diluted.

please move to premium side.

Thanks for the post Mike.

I bought one.  Its actually a good idea, but cheaply made and doesn't work.  Brushes are better.
