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.

  • 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 Palm Springs

How hard is the water in Palm Springs?
The Desert Water Agency’s 2024 report shows total hardness averaging 230 mg/L, about 13 grains per gallon, in one source column and 68 mg/L in another. Ask the agency which source serves your street.
Can an area rug over old floors be cleaned in place?
Some can and some are better washed in a plant. Describe the fiber, the dye and the backing, and the office tells you which way suits it. Wool and viscose rugs in particular need care.
I leave my Palm Springs house closed all summer. What should I do before I return?
Open it up, run the air conditioning so air moves, and book a cleaning for the carpet and furniture. About 81 percent of the city’s vacant homes are held for seasonal, recreational or occasional use.
Does dry heat shorten carpet drying in Palm Springs?
Heat helps, but the Carpet and Rug Institute’s usual range is still 6 to 12 hours, because humidity, airflow and carpet type vary. The station here averages a July high near 108 F, so leaving the AC on and the doors open is enough.
Do you serve neighborhoods like Las Palmas and Movie Colony?
California First serves Palm Springs as a whole. Give your neighborhood and street when you call or fill in the form.
