Easy right? Well sometimes for whatever reason people can't get leaf guard( price,existing gutter size) Here are a few ways to clean them if leaf guard is not an option to you.
First option is to get that ladder out and get some gloves on.
Then you need a big black garbage bag to scoop it all into.
This is very messy and to be honest a little gross.

Once you spray it out you simply grab a rake and compile it all into one pile.
