Now that the temps are getting colder up here in Michigan, I am finding that the gutter grenade is not working as well. Has anyone found something that will clean the gutters in colder temps.
I always upsell the gutter whitening and when it was warm here the gutter grenade would take the cleaning another step further than the bleach mix would, but now with the temps in the 50's its not working as well.

Dan,
We carry both gutter grenade and purple power on the truck. I've had times when one worked better than the other on cold mornings. Try purple power. It's available everywhere. In colder temps it's about managing the expectations of the customers.

Ditto. Switched to Purple Power, get 5 gallons for 30 bucks. Cut profits and still get great results.

Purple Power will not work in the cold. I no longer offer gutter brightening. Unless its a 1 story home and I know its going to be above 60 degrees. My recommendation don't offer gutter brightening when you think it will be cold. You will be busting your balls or your guys balls for a couple extra dollars.
