The TotalCare Cleaning standard

What the One-Time Deep Clean
Actually Covers

The One-Time Deep Clean addresses every surface a standard maintenance clean cannot reach. Every Louisville home accumulates buildup at the grout, baseboard, and appliance level that requires a systematic deep protocol, not just more time spent.

The TotalCare Cleaning standard is a detailed room-by-room checklist. Every item has a defined method, an approved cleaning product, and a measurable pass/fail criterion. The checklist is audited on every job before the visit is considered complete.

Pricing starts at $279 for 1 bedroom up to $614 for 5 bedrooms. Priced by the home. All supplies included. No hidden fees.

A deep clean is the visit that reaches what a regular clean skips: the top of the door casing, the slats of the blinds, the grime in the stovetop grates. In Louisville the case for one usually comes down to three local things, the age of the house, the water and the insects that move in each autumn.

This guide walks through each of them, then lists exactly what the One-Time Deep Clean adds, so you can decide whether your home needs one or can go straight onto a recurring plan.

Why so many Louisville homes are deep clean candidates

Louisville's houses are old. Census estimates put about 36 percent of Jefferson County homes before 1960 and about 60 percent before 1980. A house that age has had decades of paint layered onto window sashes, door trim and baseboards, and every ridge in that trim holds dust. Radiators, floor registers and the deep sills of brick walls do the same.

In Old Louisville the trim is taller and the details are finer. The neighborhood is the largest Victorian preservation district in the country, mostly brick houses built from the 1870s on, and those homes reward slow hand work rather than a quick pass. A deep clean is where that hand work happens.

Ohio River water and the film it leaves

Louisville Water draws from the Ohio River, treating river water directly at the Crescent Hill plant and riverbank filtered groundwater at the B.E. Payne plant. The finished water averages about 128 milligrams per liter of hardness, around 31 of calcium and 13 of magnesium, and a pH near 8.6.

Those minerals do not hurt anyone, but they dry into a hazy white layer on glass shower doors, chrome faucets and the base of every tap. On a regular visit that layer is wiped back; on a deep clean the shower glass is treated for hard water spots and faucets are detailed around the handles and aerators, where film collects first. For the long version, see the hard water guide.

Fall insects, wall stains and the timing of a deep clean

Two autumn visitors make Louisville a little different. University of Kentucky entomologists report that brown marmorated stink bugs push into homes in early to mid September and stay until they leave again between March and May, and their spotting can stain walls and curtains. Asian lady beetles gather on buildings mostly in October and can leave a yellowish stain of their own. The bulletins recommend a vacuum, not a swatter, for both.

That is why many households here like a deep clean in late fall, once the beetles have settled, and again in spring as the stink bugs move out. Window tracks, sills, light fixtures and ceiling fans are where the insects and their stains collect, and those are all on the deep clean list.

Exactly what a One-Time Deep Clean adds

A deep clean includes everything in a recurring visit, plus the detail work below. In Louisville it runs $279.00 to $614.00 by home size, and a three bedroom lands at $395.00. Inside the oven, refrigerator and cabinets is not part of it; that belongs to the Moving Clean for an empty home.

Deep clean or straight to a plan?

If professional cleaners have been in the home regularly, a recurring plan can start right away. If not, the first visit of the plan is an Initial Deep Clean, which covers the same list so that every bi-weekly visit after it, from $138.00 on the smallest homes, is maintenance rather than catch-up.

Newer homes are a different story. About 12 percent of county homes were built in 2010 or later, and those usually need a deep clean only after a long gap, a renovation dust event or a season of heavy pollen and rain. The recurring cleaning guide helps choose a frequency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Louisville Deep cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

Everything Louisville homeowners ask about a One-Time Deep Clean.

A One-Time Deep Clean in Louisville starts at $279.00 for a 1 bed / 1 bath home of about 800 sq ft and $614.00 for a 5 bed / 4 bath home of about 4,500 sq ft on the current rate card, with $395.00 for the common 3 bed / 2 bath home. It is priced by the home, not by the hour, with supplies included.
Yes, when it is done by hand. Old Louisville has more homes with stained glass windows than anywhere else in the country, and the safe approach is a soft cloth, plain water or a mild cleaner, and no ammonia or abrasive pads. Cleaners wipe the glass and dust the leading gently, and they do not press on loose panes.
It removes the surface spotting cleaners can reach on sills, trim, light fixtures and window tracks. University of Kentucky entomologists note that both insects can stain walls and fabric, so a fresh mark comes off more easily than an old one. Deep stains in fabric may not lift fully, and cleaners will not use harsh solvents on painted walls.
It treats the shower glass for hard water spots, which handles most buildup from Louisville Water's moderately hard supply. Glass that has been etched by years of minerals can stay cloudy even when clean. A squeegee after each shower and a recurring visit keep new film from settling in again.
Late fall and spring are popular choices. Lady beetles settle into buildings mostly in October and stink bugs leave homes again between March and May, so a deep clean after each of those windows catches the insect debris on sills and fixtures. Before a holiday gathering is the other common moment.
No. Inside the oven, refrigerator and cabinets is part of the Moving Clean, which is built for empty homes before or after a move. The One-Time Deep Clean covers the outside of appliances, degreases cabinet fronts and soaks the stovetop grates.
