I use gutter zap to clean gutters but it does not work well in cold weather, anybody know what will work in cold weather? I seam to be getting more calls than normal for house washing this winter.
I can't wash a house and leave the gutters that way. . When it first warms up in April people want it done. Some days it may be real sunny but it won't hit 50 degrees. The cold adds 30 minutes scrubbing on a 2000 Sq. Ft house. I just factor it into the price. I absolutely despise it, but it is what it is and I'm not going back to the same job twice.quit offering gutter whitening in the cold.
Just learned this past week at the Powerwashstore.com's conference a tip I am surprised I never thought of. Heat up the gutters with warm water first then use your gutter zap! Too cold to try here in Maine right now but plan on trying in the spring. Let me know what happens.

Hey Matt I here ya and understand completely. I was like that for two years also, then I started separating the price and was shocked at how many people chose not to have their gutter scrubbed, a lot of people do not care like we do, they just want the algae removed. It was hard for me to change but it was well worth it and has helped me get jobs I would not of gotten before,because now the customer has more choices. just something to think about.
