I get it at Dollar Tree. I use it in the bathrooms and cleaning the stove after frying greasy stuff. It is my major cleaner around here.

Look for yellow stuff in a bottle Really good for a buck.

Pretty sure one shouldn't use Goo Gone on gutters but man it works fast. I used the spray, about $4 at Walmart for a 12 oz. bottle. I did notice the cloth I used had some paint oxidation on it. Gutters are about 15 years old and a mess, except for the one I test cleaned. Now to get more Goo Gone! Hope this helps.

I just did mine with Mr Clean, worked well.

In the past I've used a power washer with just water. Also works.

Honestly, I've never owned or used Goo Gone. Their web site says it's okay on paint, but it stains non-finished aluminum.
