Coastal air, small apartment buildings and hard tap water

Huntington Beach has 82,624 housing units, and 47 percent of them are detached houses. Another 20 percent sit in buildings with 2 to 9 units, 12 percent are attached homes and 10 percent are in buildings of 50 units or more. Renters hold 34,907 of the 78,307 occupied homes, 45 percent, and the median home was built in 1974.

The city runs its own water system. In the 2022-23 water year about 69 percent of the supply was groundwater from the Orange County basin and the rest was imported. The delivered blend measured 168 milligrams per liter of hardness and the untreated groundwater alone 142, which USGS places in the hard band, a step under very hard. Hard water takes more soap and detergent to get things clean, so the rinse still matters.

The nearest climate-normals station, at John Wayne Airport, averages a July high of 78.9 F. The weather service notes that when the marine layer is shallow, low clouds stay at the beaches and warm sun begins about a mile inland, so coastal and inland carpets dry differently. The state’s recommended 2025 maps show 94 acres as High and 49 as Moderate, with no Very High zone.

  3. Close to half rented

    Forty-five percent of occupied homes, 34,907, are rented, which makes the move-out cleaning a regular request.

  • Allison C.

    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.

  • Crystal M.

    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.

  • Daniel R.

    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 Huntington Beach

Is Huntington Beach tap water hard?
Hard, though a step below very hard. The 2022-23 delivered blend measured 168 milligrams per liter in the Orange County Water District’s tables and the groundwater alone 142, and about 69 percent of the supply was local groundwater.
Does the marine layer make carpet dry slowly in Huntington Beach?
The weather service says the marine layer lasts into early summer, which locals call May Gray or June Gloom. Damp air slows drying, and the Carpet and Rug Institute says it often takes 6 to 12 hours. Use fans or the air conditioning, and keep windows shut unless the air outside is sunny and dry.
Do you clean carpet in Huntington Beach condos and small apartment buildings?
Yes. Twenty percent of the city’s units are in buildings with 2 to 9 homes, and 12 percent are attached homes. Give the office your unit, floor and parking rules when you call (844) 966-2005.
Is Huntington Beach in a fire hazard zone?
Only a little. The state’s recommended 2025 maps show 94 acres as High and 49 as Moderate and none as Very High. If smoke does come indoors, South Coast AQMD advises a portable HEPA air cleaner and MERV13 or better filters.
