Any pictures?

Did you try gutter grenade or purple power? It's likely not an organic stain.

I use gutter grenade works well.....when i see those stains on the gutters (especially white gutters) i upsell the customer on "gutter brightening". Usually will pay the labor of my employee for the day.

I have a picture I'll put it up but the gutter grenade sounds good thanks for the tip

Gutter Grenade. Great stuff. Should do the trick on what you are describing. If it doesn't I'd be surprised, but at least then you would have some on your truck. If your washing houses Gutter Grenade should be in your arsenal for gutters.

Definitely Gutter Grenade, works amazing on the streaks.

Hey red if you can't get ahold of gutter grenade right away go to walmart get some purple power and scrub away! It works or you can also you a degreasar called awesome does the job also!

Red,

not sure what your temps are, but it is very difficult to gutter brighten if its not 60 degrees and rising. Especially if the metal is cold from low overnight temps. Also, be careful with how much and how hard you scrub. You can start to remove the paint.

$4.87 for a gallon of Purple Power at Walmart is a good price! I know where Walmart is, also...

I can't find the Gutter Grenade, let alone the price. Are they pretty similar?

I haven't used Marxoff, but I have it's applicator. I wonder if that applicator can be used for Purple Power or Gutter Grenade?

PS - Hi Red, how was Mardi Gras? We have a house up here that they are trying to have moved. Think of you whenever I pass it ;)

Thanks for the wake up on the temperature issue with F-13. Been a long winter and that slipped my mind. So what are you using for gutters while we wait for the temps to rise?

John Aloisio · SoftWash Systems 5-Star Professional

We don't offer gutter brightening until its warm. We price it as a separate line item and if we do a house now, we just clean with a house mix. If they want them scrubbed, we comeback in warmer weather, for a charge. I will schedule it around our routes and it is a nice add on.
