How Do You Clean The Gravel Without Pulling Out The Plants?

How do you clean the gravel without pulling out the plants?

any advice/ how do you clean your tank?

How do you clean the gravel between plants and stone???

Either just use a gravel cleaner but only push it into the gravel between the plants, or if the tank is planted heavily enough dont clean the gravel at all. The plant roots should cope with any crud the fish produce. I just wave my hand over the top of the gravel to lift any surface crud that the filter can then remove.
