You need to treat it first. It s always a good idea to test an inconspicuous area of gutters to see how they will react to the degreaser.

Gutters collect decaying leaves and small twigs making them natural breeding grounds for mold and mildew. Apply the chemical according to the manufacturer s instructions.

Finally wipe the surface to remove mold spores. Wet the gutter with a garden hose after pre wetting the area. You can easily avoid it. Using a power washer clean your gutters to get the initial mildew and grime off.

Brush the gutter with a stiff bristle brush. Don t know if it s the same one recommended in previous responses. If that s not possible bleach and bleach based products are the only way to kill mildew and mold. I personally use jomax that i buy at lowes.

Spray it on there let it sit for 15 or 20 minutes and then you can use the pressure washer to blast off the residual.

As we said leaving the mold in your gutter may lead to more gutter repair.

Oh and it will totally come off. Apply the properly formulated degreaser to the pole brush mop or rag that you ll be using. When decomposing debris is left in the gutters it can clog downspouts and cause water to.
