Five wards, one former district: where we clean curtains in District 9
District 9 was a district in its own right until the end of 2020 and became part of Thu Duc City on 1 January 2021. On 1 July 2025, under Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15, its thirteen wards were regrouped into five. The ward is now the city's basic local unit, so a purchase contract may say Thu Duc City while the electricity bill shows a new ward name. Either is fine when you book.
We take curtain bookings in all five wards, from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM every day. The former district stretches from the Hanoi Highway to the Dong Nai River, so the exact time is settled with you at the moment of booking.
- Long Binh ward
- Old Long Binh plus the rest of Long Thanh My; most Vinhomes Grand Park towers carry a Long Binh address.
- Tang Nhon Phu ward
- Tan Phu, Hiep Phu, Tang Nhon Phu A and B and a slice of Long Thanh My, centred on Le Van Viet beside the Saigon Hi-Tech Park.
- Phuoc Long ward
- Old Phuoc Binh, Phuoc Long A and B: mostly townhouses, bordering the former District 2.
- Long Truong ward
- Phu Huu and Long Truong, with newer residential areas along Nguyen Duy Trinh.
- Long Phuoc ward
- Truong Thanh and Long Phuoc: larger plots by the Dong Nai River and many low garden houses.
New apartments, unfinished surroundings: what District 9 curtains are up against
Vinhomes Grand Park covers 271 hectares and began handing over homes in 2019. Many families hung curtains in their first months there, while neighbouring sub-zones and roads such as Nguyen Xien and Ring Road 3 were still under construction. New curtains catch fine dust almost at once: pale sheers turn grey within a dry season, and bedroom blackouts gather dust along the heading and in the pleats.
Near the Hi-Tech Park, many townhouses have become serviced apartments and rental rooms for engineers and specialists, and their curtains are seldom washed between tenants, so smoke, cooking smells and damp settle in. In Long Phuoc and Long Truong, garden houses by the river feel the rainy season, May to November: heavy living-room curtains easily pick up a musty smell, and hems can stain when rain blows in.
- Curtains hung soon after handover, already greyed by building dust.
- Rental rooms whose curtains still hold the last occupant's smoke and cooking smells.

Sheers, blackouts and heavy fabrics: how each curtain is handled
Curtains in most District 9 apartments come in two layers, a sheer inside and a blackout behind it, fitted by the owners after handover; townhouses and garden houses use more heavy fabric. Your Up specialist reads the care label and tests colourfastness on a hidden corner before choosing a method:
- Heavy fabric curtains
- Both sides vacuumed thoroughly, then steam-cleaned while still on the track, so heavy panels do not have to come down.
- Sheers
- Washed gently, one set at a time, never twisted or wrung; the quote states how they will be dried and on which day they go back up.
- Blackout curtains
- Cleaned with a light hand to protect the coating; any cracking or peeling already there is photographed and pointed out first.
- Newly made curtains
- Some still carry the smell of new fabric and creases from sewing. The label is checked so that the method chosen does not shrink them.
- Roller blinds, Venetian blinds and motorised tracks
- Motors, tubes and slats are looked at from photos first; we agree the method, then quote.
How much does curtain cleaning cost in District 9? Worked examples
The cost is the curtain area in m² multiplied by 40,000 VND, plus 100,000 VND once for the whole visit if the curtains are taken down and re-hung, with a 400,000 VND minimum per visit. Double-layer curtains are measured layer by layer. Figures are estimates until your specialist measures at home.
- The rate covers colour testing, vacuuming, wiping the tracks, steaming the pleats back into shape and the Up Report.
- Once measured, the price stays as agreed unless you approve a change in writing.
- Repairs are not included: replacing tracks or hooks, or re-sewing hems.
| Home | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Studio in Vinhomes Grand Park | About 7 m² of double-layer curtain, cleaned without take-down: 400,000 VND (280,000 VND by area, so the per-visit minimum applies). |
| Two-bedroom apartment | Around 18 m² of sheer and blackout, taken down and re-hung: 820,000 VND. |
| Three-bedroom apartment | About 28 m², with take-down and re-hang: 1,220,000 VND. |
| Five-room rental house near the Hi-Tech Park | About 25 m², with take-down and re-hang: 1,100,000 VND. |
| Long Phuoc garden house with a high living-room ceiling | Around 45 m², cleaned in place: 1,800,000 VND. Panels hung high are assessed from photos before the appointment. |
Building rules, absent landlords and booking
Many District 9 buildings ask residents to declare outside staff, who then show identification at the lobby, use the goods lift and work set hours. We send your specialist's name and photo in advance for that, and time held at the lobby after an on-time arrival is not counted as lateness. For a townhouse or garden house, tell us the floors and window heights so a suitable ladder comes along. A landlord living outside the city can have a property manager open up and follow the result through the Up Report.
- Send photos of each window, rough sizes and your address (tower and sub-zone for an apartment) by WhatsApp or Zalo on 0968 726 135, or through the Quote page.
- The visit opens with photos of the curtains as found and real measurements; the price is then fixed, and at the end the curtains are re-hung and the pleats set with you.
- You pay after the walk-through, by bank transfer or cash, and an invoice is issued on request. If a set falls short, tell us within 48 hours of receiving the Up Report and it is redone free; a specialist more than 15 minutes late takes 10% off that visit's bill.

How often should curtains be cleaned in District 9?
- Keep windows that face a building site closed during working hours.
- Keep large blackout curtains out of a home washing machine: the coating cracks easily and the drum can be overloaded.
| Home | Suggested interval |
|---|---|
| Apartment beside ongoing construction | Every 3–6 months, until the surrounding area is finished. |
| Typical apartment or townhouse | Every 6–12 months. |
| Rental room or apartment | At each change of tenant, with the Up Report kept as a record of condition at handover. |
| Riverside garden house | After the rainy season, around November or December. |
