Use a sprayer attachment if you have one and spray the gutters from the ground to rinse them. Use this solvent to scrub off the outer surface of your gutters with a stiff brush or a piece of cloth. For aluminum try gutter zap which removes electrostatic bonded streaks with little scrubbing. Another option is to spray the gutters down entirely at the beginning so that you can turn the hose off.
