Louisville Water rates its Ohio River supply as moderately hard. Here is what that number means at the shower door and kitchen tap, which utility covers which suburb, and how to clean mineral film without damaging finishes.

How to clean Louisville's older houses without harming them: Victorian brick and stained glass in Old Louisville, 1890s shotguns in Germantown, Highlands streetcar homes, plaster, original floors and the pre-1978 paint rule.
A Louisville winter is less about deep snow and more about the mix: freezing nights, sleet, slush, icing, very dry furnace air and the lady beetles and stink bugs that moved in during the fall.
Louisville is a city of very different houses sharing one river valley. A stained glass Victorian near the university, a narrow 1890s shotgun in Germantown and a house finished in the last decade all sit under the same muggy July air and drink the same Ohio River water, yet each one gets dirty in its own way.
This page explains what TotalCare Cleaning will do when it comes to Louisville, how the prices work by home size, and which of the local guides answers your question. Everything local here is drawn from the utility, NOAA, the Census Bureau, the University of Kentucky and the state's own statutes, and each source is listed at the bottom.
Census estimates put about 36 percent of homes in Jefferson County, which Louisville Metro covers, before 1960, and about 60 percent before 1980. That is an old housing stock by national standards, and it shows in plaster walls, original hardwood, small tiled baths and radiators that collect dust in places a vacuum barely reaches.
The oldest pockets have their own character. Old Louisville, just north of the University of Louisville, is the largest preservation district in the country made up almost entirely of Victorian architecture, mostly brick, and it has more homes with stained glass windows than anywhere else in the United States. Germantown holds the city's largest collection of shotgun houses, built in the 1890s, where one long line of rooms means every bit of grit from the front door travels the length of the house.
At the other end, about 12 percent of county homes were built in 2010 or later, and single family detached houses make up about 62 percent of all units. Newer homes trade the fragile finishes for size: more bathrooms, open kitchens and tall windows. The older home guide covers the first group in detail.
Louisville's air carries a lot of water in summer. NOAA normals put the average July dew point near 67 degrees, with June and August not far behind, so bathrooms dry slowly and towels stay damp. The airport records about 48 inches of precipitation in a normal year, spread across roughly 80 wet days, with May the wettest month. Wet shoes and muddy paws are a fact of life here.
Winter flips the picture. About 74 nights a year drop to freezing or below, and January dew points sit near 26 degrees, so heated indoor air turns dry and static carries dust onto screens and shelves. Two University of Kentucky entomology bulletins add a local twist: brown marmorated stink bugs move into homes in early to mid September, and Asian lady beetles gather on buildings mostly in October. Both can stain walls and curtains, and both are best picked up with a vacuum rather than crushed.
The month by month version lives in the seasonal cleaning guide, and the damp side of the year has its own humidity and mildew guide.
Every price is set by bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage, with supplies included. A bi-weekly Recurring House Clean on a three bedroom home runs $229.00 per visit, and a One-Time Deep Clean runs $279.00 to $614.00 depending on the size of the home. The full tables are on the Louisville cost page.
Louisville Water rates its supply as moderately hard, at about 128 milligrams per liter, which is enough to leave a chalky film on glass shower doors and faucets between visits. The deep clean treats shower glass for hard water spots and details faucets, and the hard water guide explains the rest.
Since 2003 Louisville and Jefferson County have shared one border, but incorporated cities inside the county kept their own governments. That is why trash schedules, bulky pickup and even the history of a street can change when you cross a city line. After the 1937 flood, much of the new housing went up on the higher ground to the east, which is where most of these towns sit.
Each town below has its own page, built from its own city records:
TotalCare Cleaning will also service the neighborhoods in between. Middletown, first incorporated in 1797 along a branch of Beargrass Creek, and Deer Park, a Highlands streetcar suburb built mostly from 1890 through the 1920s, fall inside the same area. So do the subdivisions people know by name, such as Wolf Run, Liberty Ridge, River Bluff, Stone Lakes, Woodbridge, Madison Park, Old La Grange, Oldham Reserve, Farmington, Kentucky Heritage and Shelby Farms.
About 38 percent of occupied homes in the county are rented, and the University of Louisville enrolled about 25,000 students in fall 2025, so a good share of the work in the city will be apartments and rental houses changing hands.
