How do you clean Guttering with wfp

Hi every one,
I,m changing over to wfp in the next few months, and i have a lot of contracts to do guttering once a year.
Once i change over I don't want to go back to ladders, and doing windows with wfp, and guttering with ladders is not for me, so can anyone give me the methods used to clean gutters,facias and soffits. :
Many thanks
Jeff

Although cleaning with wfp is good. it doesnt get the best results.
I jet wash the gutters first, then brush them(if needed).
But it aint half hard work brushing all the facia, gutters and soffits. Especially the underside of everything!
might find some pics of cleaning in action if you want me to show them to you

Hi Leekson
Thanks for the reply, and yes some pictures would be great
I once stood on a flat roof, and cleaned the guttering with my wfp (brush that connects to mains pressure) and cleaned the guttering above the customers conservatory, it was hard work and my arms were dropping off at the end, and this led me to ask the question.

This is a picture of my dad cleaning. I took it the other day. The akward thing is to get the pressure on the underside, while being accurate.
The good thing is, you wont need to go to the gym as much!

Hi
All with regards to the northern tool lance what sort of pressure/bar rating / flow rate , pressure washer would you need to use the lance .
What do you all use i,ve been thinking about buying this equipment for gutters and fascia,s so any help would be great.
at the moment i do them by hand as i find wfp is just not that good and to honest when i get asked to do them its usually because they are minging ...
and as someone has already said really hard work
thanks all`

Thanks for the reply's, and the picture is very helpfull
I like the idea from the link, about the telescopic pole connected to a pressure washer, and not a bad price either.
