Took my new pair of army boots onto the factory shop floor and then attended a meeting in the managers office. Then spent 30 minutes trying to scrape black sticky rubber off his carpet. Bearing manufacture; shop floor covered in coolant/oil residues!

Cleaning gutters

In the past, I've had excellent success using a long, flexible hose attached to a powerful shop vac. You can buy hoses for shop vacs that are similar to the kind you find at self-service car washes. It also helps to have a son, grandson or great grandson to do the ladder ...
