Older homes, harder water and long closed seasons
Fifty-seven percent of Palm Springs housing, 20,992 of 36,813 units, was built before 1980, and the median year is 1977. Only 39 percent of units are detached houses. Older homes may still carry original carpet or area rugs over older floors, so give the age and fiber, and name your neighborhood, whether Las Palmas, The Mesa, Movie Colony, Deepwell Estates, El Rancho Vista Estates or Little Tuscany.
Desert Water Agency’s 2024 report lists total hardness in two source columns: 230 mg/L on average, in a range of 88 to 320, about 13 grains per gallon, and 68 mg/L, in a range of 36 to 100. Which source feeds your address is a question for the agency or your bill. Hard water leaves film on tile and glass; for carpet, the answer is the rinse.
The Palm Springs weather station, 2.3 miles from the city center, averages a July high near 108 F and a January low near 47 F. Of the city’s 12,246 vacant units, 9,975 are held for seasonal, recreational or occasional use, so closed-up houses account for most of the vacancy.

Rugs on old floors, carpet and mineral film
Rug cleaning comes first in a city of older homes with area rugs over wood and tile. Carpet cleaning handles wall-to-wall rooms, and tile and grout cleaning deals with the film that water of 13 grains per gallon leaves around sinks and showers.

In their words

A selection of our 5-star reviews on Google.
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.
