Our Services

Can you remove pet stains and odors from my carpets?
Yes! We specialize in pet stain and odor removal in Louisville and Southern Indiana. Our cleaning process uses a professional-grade Sapphire Scientific machine that reaches temperatures of 160°F to sanitize and deodorize fibers. Unlike DIY cleaners that mask smells, our process extracts the source of the odor, making it a favorite service for pet owners in the Kentuckiana area. See our before-and-afters here!
How do you treat deep-set pet urine stains and odors?
We don’t just mask smells with perfumes. Our specialized pet urine removal treatment in Southern Indiana breaks down the alkaline salt crystals found in dried urine. Using our high-heat extraction, we pull these contaminants out of the carpet and padding to eliminate the odor at its source.
Is dryer vent cleaning really necessary for fire safety?
Yes! Clogged dryer vents are a leading cause of home fires. If your clothes are taking longer than one cycle to dry, it’s a sign of lint buildup. Our dryer vent cleaning service in Clark and Floyd County ensures your vent is clear, reducing fire risk and lowering your energy bills.
Safety and Chemical-Free Carpet Cleaning

Is your carpet cleaning solution safe for children and pets?
Absolutely. At Windells, we prioritize your family’s health. We use a detergent-based, chemical-free cleaning solution that is non-toxic and safe for both kids and pets. Our “Deep Clean, Fast Dry” method ensures your home is back to normal quickly without leaving behind harsh chemical residues common with other Louisville carpet cleaning companies.
Is your cleaning process safe for people with asthma or allergies?
Absolutely. Our hypoallergenic carpet cleaning removes common triggers like dust mites, pollen, and pet dander from your home’s fibers. Because we don’t use harsh perfumes or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), our process is ideal for sensitive individuals in the Kentuckiana area.
How soon can my kids or pets walk on the carpet after you finish?
Since our solutions are non-toxic, there is no “wait period” for safety. However, we recommend waiting until the carpet is dry (usually 4–6 hours) to prevent re-soiling. Our fast-dry technology means your Southern Indiana home is back in commission much faster than with traditional “soak and scrub” methods.
What makes your “Chemical-Free” cleaning different from others?
Many companies use soaps and shampoos that leave a sticky residue, which actually attracts more dirt over time. Windells uses a detergent-based, non-toxic solution that is entirely safe for your family. We focus on high-temperature steam and powerful suction to clean, leaving your carpets residue-free and soft to the touch.
Drying Time and Carpet Cleaning Process

What should I do to get ready for my appointment?
It is a good idea to vacuum once or twice before your appointment date. It is also great practice to have your rooms picked up and any smaller furniture pieces that you would like cleaned under removed from the rooms being cleaned and pets put away. An open parking space in the driveway closest to the house and a clear walkway to the closet door is also preferred.
How long does carpet cleaning take?
Most homes take 1.5 to 2.5 hours to clean from start to finish, depending on the size and scope of work. Standard drying time is 2-4 hours afterwards.
How long will it take for my carpets to dry after cleaning?
Because we use high-powered Sapphire Scientific equipment, we are able to remove 90-97% of the moisture used during the process. This allows for significantly faster drying times than many of our competitors. Most carpets in Louisville homes are dry and ready to use within a few hours of our visit.
Can I walk on the carpet after cleaning?
Yes! As long as your shoes/feet are clean, it will not hurt you, your pets, or the carpet to walk on it while it is still damp. However, we recommend that you stay off the carpet as much as possible until it’s dry. We also recommend waiting as long as possible (24 hours is preferred) to put any furniture or other items back in the rooms.
Do you need access to water or sewer?
We bring our own water with us and take the waste water with us when we leave. All we need from you is electricity for lights and fans!
Our Value & Pricing

How much does professional carpet cleaning cost in the Louisville area?
Our pricing is based on the number and size of your rooms, rather than an hourly rate. We offer free estimates and provide transparent pricing with no hidden service charges. We also offer senior citizen discounts, seasonal specials, and whole-house discounts for our Southern Indiana neighbors. Contact us today for a quote tailored to your specific needs.
How do you charge for other services?
We charge by the square foot with a flat fee for stairs and various upholstery pieces. It is a great idea to have a general idea of your room sizes or the overall size of your house when calling for an estimate.
Do you do in-home estimates?
We do not do in-home estimates; we do over the phone estimates based on your guesstimates. We will ask a few questions over the phone and formulate an estimate based on that information. At time of service, the first thing we will do is come in, look at you job, measure and tell you the final price before we start.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept cash, check, or credit card. There is a 3% convenience fee for card processing.
