How We Safely Wash Around Vegetation on Your Home
Keeping your home’s exterior clean shouldn’t come at the expense of your landscaping. At TLC: Making It Easy, we’ve perfected methods to wash siding, trim, and eaves right up to—and even under—flowerbeds, shrubs, and vines without harming your plants.
Why Special Care Is Crucial
Plant health: High‐pressure water or harsh chemicals can damage leaves, roots, and delicate blooms.
Soil integrity: Overspray can erode mulch and wash away nutrients.
Aesthetic value: Your landscaping is part of your home’s curb appeal; we treat it as carefully as we treat your siding.
Our Four‐Step Approach to Plant‐Friendly Washing
Pre‐Inspection & Preparation
We map out all vegetation zones, noting delicate versus hardy plants.
Protective measures—such as drop cloths, spray shields, and tarps—are put in place under shrubs and around flower beds.
Low‐Pressure Soft Washing
Instead of blasting away grime, we use a soft wash system (50–150 psi) that gently removes dirt, algae, and black streaks.
The reduced force prevents soil displacement and leaf damage.
Biodegradable, Plant‐Safe Cleaning Agents
Our organic detergents break down organic stains on contact yet rinse away cleanly, posing no threat to root systems.
We choose formulas that won’t alter soil pH or harm beneficial insects.
Targeted Rinsing & Cleanup
With adjustable nozzles and extension wands, we rinse siding without saturating plant beds.
Any overspray is immediately cleared—watering plants afterward if needed to dilute residual cleaner.
