Abstract
A gutter cleaning attachment for a leaf blower comprises an elongated angled pipe assembly adaptably attached to an existing leaf blower. An upper portion of the attachment is inserted into the gutter portion of a structure allowing propelled air from the leaf blower to remove debris such as leaves, twigs, silt, insect nests, seed pods, and other similar items. The safety of the user is improved by avoiding the use of ladders or climbing on roofs to perform gutter cleaning.
