Eleven old wards, five new ones: where we clean mattresses
District 12 was a large district in the north-west of the city, about 52.77 km², with the Saigon River on its eastern side. From 1 July 2025 Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 regrouped its eleven wards into five, each joining two or three adjacent old ones; a ward is now the local unit in addresses. Give the address as your papers show it and we will find the new ward.
District 12 is outside our regular areas, but mattress cleaning can be booked in all five wards from 07:00 to 20:00 every day, weekends included. Because the area runs all the way to the river, the arrival time is agreed with each household.
- Dong Hung Thuan ward
- Three old wards combined, Tan Thoi Nhat, Tan Hung Thuan and Dong Hung Thuan; busy residential streets following Truong Chinh and Nguyen Van Qua.
- Trung My Tay ward
- Tan Chanh Hiep merged with the old Trung My Tay, with Quang Trung Software City inside it.
- Tan Thoi Hiep ward
- The old Hiep Thanh joined to the old Tan Thoi Hiep; beyond the industrial park of the same name, homes line both sides of Le Van Khuong.
- Thoi An ward
- The old Thanh Xuan and Thoi An, where many new housing projects have gone up in recent years.
- An Phu Dong ward
- The old Thanh Loc joined to the old An Phu Dong: riverside land with the Ba Thon creek and many smaller channels.
High tides, creeks and the rainy season: how damp reaches a mattress
The city's official portal puts rainy-season relative humidity at about 80%, over seven months from May to November. Around An Phu Dong, Thanh Loc and Thanh Xuan, small creeks run into the Saigon River; Tuoi Tre reported that the Ba Thon tide sluice broke at the peak of the year's highest tide on 6 November 2025, letting water into nearby streets.
Where a house floor sits below the street, the ground floor stays damp. A mattress on the floor or a low bed draws in moisture, nightly sweat adds more, and a musty smell and dust mites follow. A low-moisture clean with immediate extraction lifts the dirt without adding water to the core.
- A ground-floor mattress smelling damp after heavy rain or a high tide.
- Dark spots underneath a floor mattress when it is lifted.
- Yellowed borders that feel slightly damp early in the morning.
- Sneezing or a runny nose as soon as someone lies down, a sign of built-up dust.

Rooms to let, townhouses and new apartments: who books and when
Around Tan Thoi Hiep Industrial Park and Quang Trung Software City there are rows of rooms to let and townhouses divided by floor, while large projects such as Picity High Park (a site of about 8.6 ha, VnExpress reported in 2025) bring younger residents into self-contained flats.
- Landlords
- Mattresses are cleaned while a room stands empty between tenants, each room with its own entry in the Up Report, our before-and-after photo record, for your handover file.
- Multi-storey townhouses
- Room by room, on the bed, so nobody carries a mattress up and down the stairs; a morning slot lets it dry by bedtime.
- Apartment blocks
- Many buildings want a list of service staff; we send the specialist's details early so you can register them.
Spring, latex, foam or a folding mattress: how each is cleaned
Springs tolerate pressure but not trapped water, latex dislikes heat and foam dislikes heavy pressing, so your Up specialist, the identity-verified UpClean staff member sent to you, treats each differently. A photo of the label helps us advise.
- Spring
- Surface and borders cleaned and the water extracted at once, leaving no damp in the spring frame, which matters most on a ground floor.
- Natural latex
- Minimal solution, never soaked, kept away from heat and strong sun to keep its spring.
- Foam and memory foam
- Sprayed thinly, extracted in several passes and handled lightly so the surface does not dent.
- Pressed cotton, folding and floor mattresses
- Common in rooms to let; quoted by size from the label before booking. A floor mattress is checked underneath first, with damp spots noted in the Up Report.
- Guide: cleaning a mattress and topper
- Upkeep between professional cleans.

Before the visit, and what we commit to
Many District 12 alleys are narrow, with nowhere to stop at the door; tell us the nearest parking and the specialist brings compact equipment. In an apartment building, ID is often checked at the lobby; waiting there after an on-time arrival is not counted as lateness.
- Gather the sheets, pillowcases and duvet in one place; the specialist will help if there was no time.
- For an occupied room to let, the landlord tells the tenant and agrees the time.
- Afterwards, run a fan or the aircon; in the rainy season, close windows facing a creek or the river so the mattress dries faster.
- Fixed price
- The all-inclusive figure per mattress, in writing, changed only with your approval.
- Punctuality
- More than 15 minutes late for the agreed time means 10% off that visit.
- Up Report and redo
- Photos by WhatsApp or Zalo; anything below standard is redone free if you tell us within 48 hours of receiving the report.
How often, keeping it dry, and how to book
To book, send a photo of each mattress with its size, material and your address to 0968 726 135 on WhatsApp or Zalo, and choose a time between 07:00 and 20:00. Each side takes about 45–60 minutes; you pay after checking the result, by transfer or cash, with a VAT invoice on request. Suggested intervals for damp homes near the creeks:
- Keep the mattress on a bed with space underneath, not directly on the floor.
- Use a mattress protector and wash it with the sheets every week.
- Air the room on sunny days, and blot spills at once without rubbing.
- Young children or older relatives
- Every 3–4 months, with dust-mite treatment.
- Ground-floor rooms near a creek
- As the rainy season starts, and again after the year-end high tides.
- Rooms to let
- At each change of tenant.
- Apartments and upstairs bedrooms
- About every 6 months.
- Mattress cleaning across the city
- Sizes, options and the full price table.
