A rental city: tenants live in 54 percent of Larkspur homes

In Larkspur, renters outnumber owners. Federal housing estimates count 3,219 rented homes out of 6,018 occupied, and 45 percent of all units, 2,899, sit in buildings of five or more. Only 39 percent are detached houses. Carpet in apartments and condos tends to be cleaned in step with tenants coming and going, so the date matters as much as the room count.

The housing is middle-aged. The median year built is 1970, 73 percent of units predate 1980, and about 10 percent date from 1939 or earlier. Carpet in a 1970s building may have been replaced once already, and its walking lanes can show years of traffic. Say what you know of its history.

Marin Water serves the city, and its report lists two sources: reservoir water at about 3.5 grains per gallon and Russian River water at about 6.5. Which one reaches your building is a question for the district, not something a carpet cleaner can tell you.

Move-outs and shared buildings

Carpet cleaning is the main call here, usually between tenants, when furniture is gone and the pile can be reached edge to edge. Upholstery cleaning follows for furnished rentals and for owners preparing a unit to sell. Pet stain and odor removal is worth a mention if an animal lived in the unit.

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 Larkspur

Do you clean a Larkspur apartment after the tenant moves out?

Yes. With 54 percent of the city’s occupied homes rented, a move-out is a common moment, and the visit works best in an empty unit. Give the office the date, the rooms and whether the carpet has pet stains.

I manage several Larkspur units. What details help the visit?

Describe each unit: how many rooms are carpeted, which floor, and when it will be empty. Larkspur has 2,899 units in buildings of five or more, so floor and access details help the visit run smoothly.

How warm does Larkspur get, and does that matter for drying?

The nearest weather station with full 30-year averages is in Kentfield, about 1.4 miles from the city center, and it shows a July high near 82.5 F and a January low near 42 F. In an apartment with the windows shut, drying still depends on airflow, so open a window and run a fan. The Carpet and Rug Institute puts the line for wet carpet at 12 hours.

What is in Larkspur’s tap water?

Marin Water’s 2025 report works out to about 3.5 grains per gallon for reservoir water and 6.5 for Russian River water, and it does not say which reaches your street. On carpet the rinse is what counts. Hardness shows more on glass, fixtures and tile.

My building’s carpet is from the 1970s. Is it worth cleaning?

Often, if the backing and fibers are sound. About 73 percent of Larkspur’s units predate 1980. Describe the wear, rips and any stretching; a cleaning lifts the soil sitting in the pile, but it cannot restore worn fibers.
