District 2 today, and where we clean chairs
Districts ceased to exist in Ho Chi Minh City on 1 July 2025. Under Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 the former District 2 became three wards, the city's local administrative units: An Khanh, Binh Trung and Cat Lai, with the old An Phu ward split between the first two. Papers drawn up before that date are still valid, so book with a District 2 address if that is the one you know.
Our office is in the Sala urban area, at 72 Nguyen Co Thach in An Khanh ward. Chairs are cleaned in An Khanh and Binh Trung on a regular schedule, for homes and workplaces alike, from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM every day.
- An Khanh ward — regular service
- Thu Thiem, Thao Dien, An Loi Dong, the old An Khanh and part of An Phu. Homes at Empire City, The Metropole Thu Thiem, Sala, Masteri Thao Dien and Xi Riverview Palace, and the villas of Thao Dien and Saroma; small offices in Thu Thiem and An Phu, and shophouses in Sala and Thu Thiem.
- Binh Trung ward — regular service
- Binh Trung Dong, Binh Trung Tay and the rest of An Phu: Diamond Island, Estella Heights, Lakeview City, Palm City and The Global City, where the SOHO townhouses have been handed over.
- Cat Lai ward — by arrangement
- The former Thanh My Loi and Cat Lai, with Vista Verde and Feliz en Vista. The time is confirmed when you contact us.
Dining chairs and armchairs in District 2 homes: where the dirt sits
Each day of sitting leaves a little more sweat, skin oil, crumbs and fine dust in the covering. Many apartments in Thu Thiem, Thao Dien and Sala have large glass walls facing the river, and a leather chair that stands against sunny glass dries out and stiffens. From May to November, when relative humidity is around 80% according to the city government portal, the foam inside a fabric chair holds damp and can begin to smell.
Scrubbing a fabric chair with a wet cloth and soap often backfires: the fabric dries with tide marks, leftover soap makes it soil again sooner, and water in the foam is slow to leave. An extraction machine takes most of the dirty water back out while it cleans. Signs that a deep clean is due:
- The seat, headrest and armrests have turned visibly darker than the back.
- You notice a smell on sitting down, most of all on rainy days.
- Leather feels dry, and fine cracks are starting along the seat edge.
Offices in Thu Thiem and An Phu, shophouses in Sala and The Global City
In a workplace, an undisturbed working day counts for as much as clean chairs. The survey is free: chairs are counted by type, heavily stained ones are noted, and we suggest a slot in the late afternoon or at the weekend. One group of rooms is finished before the next is started, and a chair that has to be moved is labelled so that it goes back to its own desk.
A shophouse in Sala, Thu Thiem or The Global City often has a business on the ground floor and a home upstairs. Both go into one visit: the customer area is finished before opening time or on a day off, and the family's dining chairs and armchairs follow.
- Small offices
- Swivel chairs with felt or mesh backs, meeting-room chairs and executive chairs. Documents stay where they are, drawers and personal cabinets are not opened, and any restricted area is agreed beforehand.
- Co-working spaces
- Each chair is shared by many people. For a crowded office, about six months is a sensible interval for chairs in daily use.
- Restaurants and cafés
- On upholstered dining chairs and padded bar stools, food, grease and sauce collect along the front edge of the seat. The visit is set outside serving hours, with time left for the chairs to dry.
- Meeting rooms and reception
- Chairs that visitors see are cleaned most thoroughly; for chairs few people sit on, vacuuming and treating the odd stain is enough.
How each material is cleaned
The Up specialist, a trained and identity-verified member of our staff, looks at the covering, the stitching, the care label and the chair's moving parts, then tests a hidden spot for colour-fastness before choosing a method.
- Fabric and felt
- After deep vacuuming and treatment of individual stains comes spray extraction: the machine sprays solution into the weave and sucks it out again at once, dirt included, so little water has time to reach the foam.
- Velvet
- A low-moisture clean, then brushing with the pile so that it neither streaks nor lies flat in patches.
- Leather and faux leather
- No wet-washing. A product made for leather, a soft brush along the seams, a fine cloth to wipe, and a conditioning coat to keep the surface supple.
- Mesh backs
- Brushed and vacuumed, then wiped with a cloth that is only just damp. The plastic frame and the recline mechanism have to stay dry, so very little water is used.
- Suede, nubuck and silk
- Sensitive to water. Send close-up photos and the label; we confirm the job once we have a method that is safe for the material.
- Frames, legs and castors
- Plastic, wood and metal parts are wiped down; wood is not polished or repainted.
Chair cleaning prices in District 2, with worked examples
Chairs are charged one by one. Office chairs: 45,000 VND with a fabric, felt or mesh covering, 75,000 VND for leather and executive chairs. Dining chairs: 40,000 VND for a chair or stool without a back, 55,000 VND for an upholstered chair with a back, 65,000 VND in leather. Armchairs: 130,000 VND in fabric, 160,000 VND in leather. An office with at least 50 fabric, felt or mesh chairs pays 40,000 VND for each of them, and no visit is charged below 390,000 VND.
For a written all-inclusive price, message us on WhatsApp or Zalo with a photo of the whole area, close-ups of the stains and a count of each type of chair. The type and covering of a chair set its rate; the number of chairs, how they are spread across floors and how soiled they are decide how long the visit takes. The price changes only with your written confirmation.
- Apartment in Sala: six upholstered dining chairs with backs
- 6 × 55,000 VND = 330,000 VND; the minimum applies, so the visit is 390,000 VND.
- Villa in Thao Dien: eight upholstered dining chairs and two fabric armchairs
- 8 × 55,000 VND + 2 × 130,000 VND = 700,000 VND.
- Office in Thu Thiem: 20 felt or mesh swivel chairs and two executive chairs
- 20 × 45,000 VND + 2 × 75,000 VND = 1,050,000 VND.
- Office with 60 fabric, felt or mesh chairs
- Above the 50-chair threshold, so 40,000 VND each: 2,400,000 VND.
- Café in a shophouse: 24 upholstered dining chairs and six backless counter stools
- 24 × 55,000 VND + 6 × 40,000 VND = 1,560,000 VND.
Building access, drying time and what we do not do
Most District 2 apartment buildings set rules for service providers: registration with building management beforehand, ID at the lobby, the service lift for equipment and fixed working hours. For an office, we settle three things with your administrator before the day: entry to the building, the lift for our equipment, and the points where we may draw power and water.
Fabric and felt are dry within a few hours, longer where the padding is thick or the room is closed up; leather and faux leather hardly get damp and can be sat on sooner. Air the room and stay off the fabric until it has dried.
We clean and condition, and nothing else. Re-dyeing leather, patching tears, replacing foam and repairing a height mechanism or castors are outside the service; what we see is written into the Up Report, the photo report sent after every visit. A fresh stain usually lifts visibly, whereas an old one, or ink, sometimes only fades.
How to book, with notes for international residents
- Send photos, the number of each type of chair and your address through our Quote page or to 0968 726 135 on WhatsApp or Zalo.

- English
- Enquiries, quotes, booking confirmations and the Up Report can all be in English. For a specialist who speaks English on site, note it when you book; if we cannot arrange one, we say so in advance and support you by phone or message. The specialist's name and photo reach you before the visit.
