Abstract

A gutter cleaning apparatus that cleans debris from a gutter having a concave channel for collecting water from a roof of a building, has a platform with a plurality of spaced apart apertures each including a guide flap extending at an inclined air flow directing angle from under the platform. The platform is mounted in the gutter at a selected spacing above a floor of the gutter and extends into an air flow guide engaged to an end of the platform. The guide has an outlet end with lower and upper portions for directing air flow respectively under and over the platform for lifting and remove debris from an upper surface of the platform, the platform extending at least partly into the outlet end for dividing the outlet end into the lower and upper portions, and the guide has an inlet for receiving a flow of forced air from a blower near ground level.
