The Texas Pollen Explosion: How Prep My Lakehouse Can Keep Your Home Clean and Allergen-Free
If you’ve spent any time in Texas during spring, you know the struggle is real. The annual pollen explosion blankets everything—cars, patios, outdoor furniture, and even the lake itself—in a thick, yellow-green dust. For lakehouse owners, this seasonal invasion isn’t just a nuisance; it can quickly turn into a full-scale cleanup operation.
At Prep My Lakehouse (PML), we know the impact of pollen on your luxury lake home. From sticky window screens to clogged HVAC filters, this unwelcome guest finds its way into every nook and cranny. But don’t worry—we’ve got the ultimate solution to keep your retreat pristine, fresh, and allergen-free.
Why Is Texas Pollen So Intense?
Texas is home to a high concentration of oak, pine, cedar, and elm trees, all of which release heavy amounts of pollen each year. The warm, breezy climate only makes things worse by spreading the particles far and wide.
Some of the biggest culprits include:
🌳 Cedar and Juniper (aka “Cedar Fever”) – Peaks in late winter and early spring, causing severe allergies.
🌾 Oak Pollen – Produces thick yellow dust from March through May.
🌱 Grass Pollen – Active in late spring and summer, making outdoor living a challenge.
For lakehouse owners, the combination of wind and water traps pollen in outdoor areas, leaving decks, docks, and screened porches coated in a fine layer of dust. Left unattended, this buildup can clog air filters, stain fabrics, and trigger allergy symptoms for guests and family members.
The PML Deep-Clean Solution: Keeping Your Lakehouse Pollen-Free
At Prep My Lakehouse, we specialize in turnkey cleaning and concierge services so you can enjoy stress-free lake life—without the hassle of pollen removal. Here’s how we tackle the seasonal mess:
1️⃣ Deep Exterior Cleaning
Pollen clings to porches, decks, docks, outdoor furniture, and siding, turning your lakehouse into a dusty, yellow-tinted scene. Our team:
✔ Power washes patios, decks, and exterior walls to eliminate pollen buildup.
✔ Wipes down outdoor furniture, cushions, and railings for a fresh, clean finish.
✔ Rinses lakefront areas and boat docks to prevent pollen from sticking to surfaces.
2️⃣ Indoor Air Quality & Filtration
Pollen doesn’t just settle outdoors—it sneaks into your home through open windows, HVAC systems, and even on your clothes. PML combats this by:
✔ Replacing HVAC filters to prevent allergens from circulating inside.
✔ Dusting and vacuuming window sills, blinds, and baseboards where pollen settles.
✔ Wiping down indoor surfaces to remove airborne dust particles.

Pollen stains are notoriously tough to remove from cushions, drapes, and linens. Our team ensures your home stays guest-ready with:
✔ Professional laundering of curtains, bedding, and throw pillows.
✔ Upholstery cleaning for sofas, outdoor cushions, and rugs.
✔ Steam cleaning to lift pollen and dust from carpets.
