Three wards, and the older ward names you may still see
Since 1 July 2025, under Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15, the former District 3 has been three wards, the local units now used in addresses. Earlier changes add to the mix: Vo Thi Sau ward had been formed from Wards 6, 7 and 8, and on 1 January 2025 Ward 10 joined Ward 9 and Ward 13 joined Ward 12. Quote whichever ward your lease or licence shows and we will match it.
We take bookings in all three wards from 07:00 to 20:00, seven days a week. If the premises are down a motorbike-only alley or on a street with timed stopping rules, tell us so that we can pick a good moment to bring the machines in.
- Xuan Hoa ward
- Vo Thi Sau ward plus the rest of the old Ward 4. Tu Xuong, Ngo Thoi Nhiem, Tran Quoc Thao and Ba Huyen Thanh Quan still have many old villas; offices line Nam Ky Khoi Nghia and Dien Bien Phu, and Serenity Sky Villas stands at 259 Dien Bien Phu.
- Ban Co ward
- The old Wards 1, 2, 3 and 5 and part of Ward 4, around Nguyen Thien Thuat street. Tube houses, narrow and deep townhouses of several storeys, stand shoulder to shoulder in the alleys, many extended or let floor by floor.
- Nhieu Loc ward
- The old Wards 9, 11, 12 and 14, towards the Nhieu Loc–Thi Nghe canal: homes among buildings with shops or offices below and living space above.
Old villas, tube houses and mid-sized offices: what each asks of a clean
In 2018 the newspaper Dau Thau reported about 1,300 old villas in the city, more than 800 of them in District 3. Many offices here occupy a villa or converted townhouse; others sit in mid-sized buildings along Nam Ky Khoi Nghia, Dien Bien Phu, Vo Van Tan and Cach Mang Thang Tam. Materials and access differ, so one checklist cannot serve both.
Older houses have high ceilings, plaster cornices, timber stairs and floors, encaustic cement tiles and terrazzo: timber is never wet-scrubbed, and tiles and stone get no acidic cleaner. Repairs leave plaster and paint dust on frames and sills, and tree-lined streets bring leaves and soil into porches. With rain from May to November and average relative humidity of about 79.5%, rooms kept shut easily turn musty, with spots of mould in grout and at wall bases.
- A company moving into a newly renovated villa or townhouse.
- A tube house after repainting or an added storey, dusty from roof to ground floor.
What the clean covers in each type of premises
The checklist is written floor by floor after the survey, noting materials and places to leave alone; work runs top down and inside out.
- Office in a converted villa
- Cornices, ceiling fans and lampshades cleaned within safe reach of a proper ladder. Timber stairs and floors take little water; cement tiles and terrazzo only a solution tested in a hidden spot. Porch and entrance come last.
- Office in a mid-sized building
- Work areas, meeting rooms, pantry, washrooms within your lease and glass partitions; carpet tiles vacuumed. Files, drawers and running equipment are left alone.
- Tube house after repairs
- Cement dust, paint and adhesive treated surface by surface from the roof terrace down, with step covers on steep stairs; facade glass only where safely reachable.
- Shop below, home above
- The trading floor is finished before opening; the floors above get their own checklist and, if you wish, their own Up Report, our before-and-after photo record.
- Luxury apartments
- Stone, large glass and valuable furniture, with pads and solutions per material. At Serenity Sky Villas (45 units) and similar buildings, the team registers with reception and works in permitted hours.
What it costs in District 3: reference prices and the quote
There is no single rate for industrial cleaning, but the component services for homes have listed prices, shown below for budgeting. Offices and business premises are priced after a free survey, on site or from photos: a carpeted office floor on Nam Ky Khoi Nghia and a timber-floored villa in Xuan Hoa may share an area yet differ in glass, ceiling height and permitted hours. The written quote lists items, specialists, equipment and duration, and its all-inclusive figure is your price.
- Outside glass is cleaned only where safely reachable; work-at-height equipment is a separate line, used only with your approval.
- Aircon, carpet, curtain or sofa cleaning and stone floor polishing can join the visit at their own prices.
- Nothing is added without your written approval. You pay after the walk-through, by transfer or cash; a large job may need a deposit. VAT invoices come from Uptech Technology Solution Company Limited, tax code 0316973414.
| Item | Reference price |
|---|---|
| Post-construction, townhouse | 25,500 VND per m²; minimum 1,350,000 VND. |
| Post-construction, villa or apartment | Villa 30,000 VND, apartment 22,500 VND per m². |
| Deep clean, lived-in home | Townhouse 17,000 VND, villa 20,000 VND, apartment 15,000 VND per m²; minimum 900,000 VND. |
| Machine floor scrubbing | 12,000 VND per m² for apartments and offices, 15,000 VND for houses and showrooms; minimum 900,000 VND. |
| Interior glass | 10,000 VND per m² within safe reach; minimum 500,000 VND. |
| Offices and business premises | Written quote after the free survey. |
Narrow alleys, villa gates and office lobbies: bringing the machines in
Most of District 3 is private houses with no management office, so we first agree where the scrubber, vacuums and ladders will enter and stand. In a narrow alley the team parks where you direct and carries everything in, keeping it out of the neighbours' way.
For a villa with a guard or caretaker, we send each specialist's name and photo ahead and agree where power and water may be used. Office buildings set rules on contractor registration, the goods lift and hours; for apartment buildings, Circular 05/2024/TT-BXD requires house rules on security and hygiene, applied as each management decides.
- Waiting at a gate or lobby after arriving on time is not counted as late.
- Scrubbing water goes into the machine's tank, never into the alley or porch.
- Antiques, paintings and altars stay in place under covers unless you say otherwise; server rooms are entered only with permission.
Choosing the service, our commitments and booking
- Offices: usually quarterly, alongside daily cleaning.
- After renovation: as soon as the builders leave, before furniture goes in.
- Villas and tall houses: at the end of the dry season and again before Tết.
- One-off or recurring
- One-off for offices, mixed-use buildings and empty homes; a recurring contract fixes scope, frequency, hours and cost in writing, with a team that knows your premises.
- Stone floor polishing
- A scrubber cleans but does not restore shine; dull stone needs this separate service.
- Commitments
- A team lead throughout; identity-verified specialists named in advance; 10% off if we are over 15 minutes late; a fixed price; items photographed and returned; shortfalls redone free within 48 hours of the Up Report.
- Book a survey
- Or message 0968 726 135 on WhatsApp or Zalo with the address, premises, storeys, photos and deadline. Changes are free with 24 hours' notice; later, a 30% fee applies.
- The service in full
