Say Goodbye to Unsightly Black Streaks on Gutters

Maintaining clean gutters is essential for a home’s curb appeal and functionality. Black streaks—often referred to as "tiger stripes"—can ruin the appearance of your gutters and even damage the material over time. Fortunately, Gutter Guard Gutter Cleaning Chemical is here to help!

This powerful, super-concentrated formula is specifically designed to remove those stubborn black stripes, making it one of the most cost-effective and efficient solutions available.

What Causes Black Streaks on Gutters?

Before diving into the solution, it’s essential to understand the problem:

• Airborne Pollutants: Raindrops carry dirt and pollutants onto gutters. Over time, electrostatic attraction causes this debris to bond with the aluminum, creating black streaks.
• Roof Runoff: Water flowing from the roof carries asphalt particles from shingles, which chemically bond with the aluminum gutters, leaving behind tiger or zebra stripes.

Unfortunately, traditional power washing won’t remove these streaks, but Gutter Guard is formulated specifically to tackle this issue.
