Never Skip This Home Winterizing Task -- Savings Experiment

Cleaning your gutters twice a year, can stop your money from going down the drain. Here's how.

Clogged gutter systems overflow with rainwater and can damage the foundation of your home, costing you thousands in repairs. So how do you get them clean?

It's easy. One clever trick is to use a leaf-blower attachment to blast the debris away. If you don't have a leaf blower, the next best method is using a garden cultivator to rake the debris away.

Or, finally, you can do it the old fashioned way. Simply put on a pair of gloves, climb a ladder, and use your hands.

This winter just remember: keeping your gutter clean can make your wallet overflow with savings.
