Well, I'd say that sounds suspiciously like the obscure 90s sitcom You Wish, but that's about a genie instead of a ghost, so. (if that's really it maybe you're just misremembering the haunty bits or somethin)

Nope, that's not it.
I remember this old (25+ years) tv series I watched as a kid. It's probably from UK, maybe USA. It's about a house with a ghost who has to stay on earth because his case files has gone missing. He is supposed to haunt the attic and do bad deeds, but it usually ended up that he did a good thing (because a boy character talked him into doing a something good). Afterward he had to go for a bath and "wash" his good deeds. He was about 30-40ish man who kind of lived there in the attic. He had a regular flat looking place there. And when he washed, the good deeds were drained into the garden and a flowers grew. In the garden, a boy's grandfather worked.
