A rental city with old houses, hard water and dry air

Barstow is a renting city: 56.3 percent of its 9,145 occupied homes are renter-occupied, against 43.7 percent owner-occupied. It is also an old one. About 64 percent of housing units went up before 1980, roughly a third before 1960, and the median home dates from 1970. The housing element ties the city’s long-running vacancy partly to owners living out of town and to high turnover among residents. Turnover means move-outs, and a move-out means carpet that has to be clean again by a date.

Heat and wind do the rest. The Safety Element says it is not uncommon for Barstow to reach 109 degrees in summer, and the local weather station averages a 102 degree high in July. Humidity is low, usually below 20 percent by day. The draft 2045 General Plan calls for wind barriers or ground cover in new development to limit damage from windblown sand. Dry air tends to help a cleaned carpet dry, but the fine sand that rides the wind still has to be vacuumed out of the pile.

Golden State Water’s Barstow system pumps treated groundwater from the Mojave River Basin, and its latest report puts average hardness at 280 milligrams per liter, with samples from 230 to 340. That is about 16 grains per gallon. Mineral spots on shower glass, faucets and tile are common where water is this hard.

What suits a rental city with hard water

Carpet cleaning is the steady need where most homes are rented and turnover is high. Tile and grout cleaning is the one to ask about when hard water has left mineral spots around sinks and showers. Water extraction matters because very dry soil sheds water and can send a sudden storm into a house.

Allison C.October 5, 2026
I particularly liked the way the lead cleaner described the PH balance of the solutions that they were using on our carpets. The acidic neutralizing rinse makes sure the floor doesn’t feel crunchy or sticky when it is dry. That extra step means our floors are very silky and totally residue-free.

My kids have turned the giant living room ottoman into a trampoline and it's forever soiled with imprints. Steam cleaning the hefty cloth removed all the dark grime and restored the original bright blue hue. The furniture which is the focus is clean and the living space appears a lot tidier today.

Thick outdoor seats were covered in tree algae and bird poop. Power-washings of the tough material killed any dirt from outside. We are pleased to be hosting barbecues from our clean chairs again.

Questions from Barstow

How hard is Barstow tap water?

Golden State Water’s Barstow system reports average hardness of 280 milligrams per liter, with samples from 230 to 340, or about 16 grains per gallon. Water like that tends to leave spots on tile, glass and fixtures.

Does Barstow’s dry air help carpet dry?

Probably. The city’s Environmental Justice Element says dampness is not an issue here: yearly humidity may average 42 percent and the daily reading is usually below 20 percent. The Carpet and Rug Institute says drying often takes 6 to 12 hours, so keep a fan going and the room open.

My lease ends soon. Can the carpet be cleaned before I hand back the keys?

Yes. About 56 percent of Barstow’s occupied homes are rented, so move-out cleanings are a regular request. Read the lease first, since some name a method or a receipt, then tell the office the unit, the floor and the parking situation.

Can a flood really soak a floor in the desert?

It has happened. The Mojave River is a dry sand wash most of the time, yet the Safety Element lists major floods in 1969, 1982 and 1993 and names flooding from very dry soil as a hazard. Carpet still wet after 12 hours calls for a professional, the Carpet and Rug Institute says, so call (844) 966-2005.

Do desert winds mean I should clean my ducts?

Only when the ducts show a real problem. The EPA does not recommend routine cleaning and points to visible mold, vermin or ducts clogged with dust and debris. Check the registers and filter after a windy spell.
