Renters in the majority, 1969 homes and groundwater at 14 grains

Santa Ana has 83,701 housing units, and renters hold 44,898 of the 81,069 occupied homes, or 55 percent. Only 44 percent of units are detached houses, while 17 percent sit in buildings of 2 to 9 units, 15 percent in buildings of 10 to 49 and 12 percent in buildings holding 50 or more units. The median home dates from 1969, and 74 percent of units were built in 1979 or before. With so many tenants, the lease usually decides who books a cleaning.

Most of the city’s water comes from the Orange County groundwater basin: the city runs 21 wells, and it reports about 85 percent of its supply as groundwater and 15 percent as imported Metropolitan water. Groundwater hardness averaged 14 grains per gallon, or 239 milligrams per liter, with readings from 7.6 to 18 grains, which is at the very hard end of the USGS scale. USGS says hard water takes more detergent to get things clean, so the rinse at the end of an extraction is worth a question.

The Santa Ana fire station weather record has an average July high of 82.5 F. The weather service says Santa Ana winds, which are dry and blow from the desert interior toward the coast, are most common from September through May.

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.
Crystal M.September 18, 2026
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 Santa Ana

How hard is Santa Ana’s tap water?

The city’s groundwater averaged 14 grains per gallon in its 2025 data, about 239 milligrams per liter, with readings from 7.6 to 18. That is at the very hard end of the USGS scale. About 85 percent of the supply is groundwater from 21 city wells and the rest is imported.

Can I book a move-out cleaning for my Santa Ana apartment?

Yes. Fifty-five percent of occupied homes are rented and 27 percent of units are in buildings of 10 or more homes. Tell the office your unit, floor and the day you return the keys.

What do Santa Ana winds mean for carpet and ducts?

The weather service describes them as dry winds flowing from the desert interior toward the coast, most common from September through May, and says they raise wildfire risk. If smoke or ash does come indoors, South Coast AQMD advises a HEPA vacuum; the EPA says duct cleaning is for visible mold, vermin or heavy dust and debris.

How long will carpet stay damp in a Santa Ana apartment?

The Santa Ana fire station has an average July high of 82.5 F. The Carpet and Rug Institute gives 6 to 12 hours as the usual drying time, so open windows only when the air outside is sunny and dry, and otherwise run fans or the air conditioning.
