I just received a $100 Home Depot gift card. I was thinking about getting a new push broom and maybe a new 100’ supply hose. What are little things you always need but forget to keep in stock? ---

If I had $100 at Home Depot I’d spend $70 on these threaded brushes, $20 on microfiber rags, and $10 on spring clips. > **[What are you using for a gutter brush?](https://pressurewashingresource.com/t/what-are-you-using-for-a-gutter-brush/8395/6)** > > Hey all I been upselling gutter whitening a bunch lately.

@tireshark @jhh being Irish means I gotta be a sunblock aficionado… the dang mask though… every time I try to order one on Amazon it asks for face size. I have no clue so I never pull the trigger. I keep saying I’m going to go a safety supply place near here and ask, but it still hasn’t happened. Just ordered a medium on Amazon since you reminded and I’m hoping my fat face doesn’t let me down. ![](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/uploads/default/original/2X/9/933dc4cd346f7c14683dd69eb562bbec597a68d4.JPG) ![](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/uploads/default/original/2X/b/bea178f0a30d3615c73065297000fc0bde96dd47.JPG) ---

Man… my hands are freakishly large compared to my body. I’m 5’10, 190 lbs… if I grew into my hands I’d be 6’5 and play in the NBA. I could never be the Donald’s hand model. ---

618, you can get a nice 20’ unger extendable pole for $35. Will get gutters up to two stories.

Bleach may not be good for the lungs but it isn’t a carcinogen. I’d buy $100 worth of welding tips and wire because tinkering with metal is more fun than washing ---

If you don’t breath in the bleach, how do you expect to stay clean on the inside??? When I was growing up in south FL we were bombarded by fog trucks they would just cover you in a cloud of pesticide and if they didn’t get you the tanker planes would douse ya… I think I’m a little late to start using a mask… lol I guess next you all will tell me to wear gloves when cleaning a drain… All kidding aside get the mask… ---

I try not to answer too many technical questions and leave them to the vets because I’m in the dark still on the tech stuff, but… why do you use these things? No clue what the difference is.
