Thao Dien today, and the homes and premises we visit
Thao Dien, the riverside part of the former District 2, is no longer the name of a ward. Ho Chi Minh City replaced its districts with wards, the local administrative units, on 1 July 2025, and Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 placed all of Thao Dien in the new An Khanh ward. Our office at 72 Nguyen Co Thach, in the Sala urban area, is in that ward too. Chair bookings are taken daily from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
- Riverside villas and gated compounds
- Garden villas along Quoc Huong and Nguyen Van Huong, and the large houses behind compound gates.
- Apartments
- Masteri Thao Dien, Gateway Thao Dien, The Nassim, The Ascent and Lumiere Riverside; beside the river, Thao Dien Pearl, Xi Riverview Palace and Tropic Garden.
- Townhouses, cafés, showrooms, small offices
- Multi-storey townhouses in the lanes and along streets such as Xuan Thuy and Thao Dien; a good many in the neighbourhood have been converted for business.
Villa dining rooms and living rooms: garden soil, stone floors, chairs on every floor
A villa or compound house in Thao Dien is large, has several floors and usually a garden. Coming and going between garden and house brings in soil, fine sand and scraps of leaf, which settle around chair legs and in the seams before they show on the fabric. The seat, back, armrests, seams and base are therefore vacuumed thoroughly before any washing.
Such a house seldom has just one dining set, so we list the work by floor and by room. Stone floors, solid-wood furniture and table tops near the work are covered before a machine is set down, and each chair goes back to its own place.
- Upholstered dining chairs
- Food, grease and sauce marks sit along the front edge of the seat and are treated one by one.
- Wooden chairs with a padded seat
- The pad is cleaned and the frame dusted, with no solution left standing on the wood. We do not polish or repaint timber.
River damp, sun through tall glass, and notes on four buildings
The rainy season lasts from May to November, with relative humidity near 80% according to the city government portal, and by the river the wind adds moisture to rooms that are seldom opened. The foam in a fabric chair holds it, so the chair smells before it looks dirty. Leather has the opposite problem: against sunny glass it dries, stiffens and then cracks at the seat edge.
What follows draws on published information; UpClean is independent of every developer and management company.
- Masteri Thao Dien
- Mid-sized apartments with an open kitchen beside the living area, many of them let. Dining chairs near the hob pick up grease and cooking smells sooner, and a set that has served several tenants is worth cleaning at each change.
- Gateway Thao Dien and The Ascent
- Introduced with windows 2.4–2.7 m high and glass panels over 3 m; leather chairs here should stand back from the glass.
- The Nassim
- Marble floors and private lift lobbies. The floor is covered first; in daily use, pads under the chair legs spare the marble from scratches.
- Thao Dien Pearl
- Many families have lived here for more than ten years. On a long-used dining set, fresh marks usually lift well and old ones may only fade; the Up Report, the photo report sent after every visit, says which.
Cafés, showrooms and small offices in converted houses
For the mid-sized business premises and small offices of Thao Dien, the first thing to settle is the hour: seating in the customer area is finished before opening, or the whole visit moves to a closing day, within our hours of 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Where there are many chairs we survey free of charge and count them by type.
- Cafés and restaurants
- Upholstered dining chairs and padded counter stools are done in batches, leaving time to dry before guests arrive. A regular round can be written into a monthly contract.
- Showrooms
- Chairs for visitors come first. Display pieces nearby are moved only with your consent and return to the position photographed at the start.
- Small offices
- Swivel chairs with felt or mesh backs, and meeting-room chairs. Papers stay where they lie; drawers and personal cabinets are not opened.
Method by covering, and what we do not take on
Your Up specialist, a trained and identity-verified member of UpClean's staff, checks the covering, the stitching, the care label and the mechanism, then tests a hidden spot for colour-fastness. We clean and condition only: no re-dyeing, patching, new foam or repairs to castors and gas lifts. Visible damage is written into the Up Report.
- Fabric and felt
- Deep vacuuming, stain treatment, then spray extraction: solution is sprayed into the fibres and drawn back out at once with the dirt, so little water reaches the foam.
- Velvet
- Low moisture, and brushing with the pile so it neither streaks nor flattens.
- Leather and faux leather
- Never wet-washed. A leather cleaner, light brushing along the stitching, a fine cloth, then conditioner.
- Mesh backs
- Vacuumed, brushed and wiped with a barely damp cloth, which keeps the frame and recline mechanism dry.

Rentals, international residents and how to book
Tuoi Tre reported in 2020 that nearly 6,000 foreign residents of 102 nationalities lived in Thao Dien, and most homes let to them come furnished. The chairs stay through one tenancy after another, so the gap between two leases is the moment to clean them; the Up Report then records their condition at handover.
- Message 0968 726 135 on WhatsApp or Zalo, or use our Quote page, with photos and a count of each type of chair.
- Agree the written price and a time; your specialist's name and photo follow, for the compound gate or the building's reception.
- Each chair is checked with you afterwards, and you pay after that walk-through, by bank transfer or cash.
- In 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 tell you in advance and support the visit by phone or message.
