Where we clean mattresses in the former District 5
Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 placed the former District 5 in three wards from 1 July 2025. Four of its wards had been absorbed into neighbours in January 2025, so bills may show an old ward number; the house number and street are enough.
Mattress cleaning is booked by appointment in all three wards, any day from 07:00 to 20:00. We agree the time with each household, allowing for the hours a mattress needs to dry before bedtime.
- Cho Lon
- Made up of the old Wards 11, 12, 13 and 14; the cultural home of the Chinese community, with the Hai Thuong Lan Ong traditional-medicine street, assembly halls and many townhouses keeping their old architecture.
- An Dong
- Made up of the old Wards 5, 7 and 9 around An Dong Market; mostly townhouses that are both home and business, with commercial buildings between them.
- Cho Quan
- Made up of the old Wards 1, 2 and 4; the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, which began as Cho Quan hospital, old-established schools, townhouses and apartment blocks of many years' standing.
Bedrooms on the upper floors: heat, damp and dust
District 5 townhouses are mostly narrow, deep and tall, with the shop or store on the ground floor and the bedrooms stacked above. A bedroom under a metal roof or just below the roof terrace heats up at midday, the aircon struggles, and sweat soaks through the sheet into the mattress. With average relative humidity about 79.5% and long rains from May to November, a mattress in a room with little air dries very slowly.
On streets selling traditional medicine, dried goods and fabric, goods handled every day raise fine dust, and in a house with a store on the ground floor or in the loft it does not stay put. Dust, damp and sweat together give dust mites what they need.
- Yellow patches where the head and back rest, worst in the top-floor room.
- A damp smell from the guest-room mattress, though it is seldom used.
- Fine dust along the seams and edges when the sheet is changed.
- Sneezing or an itchy nose on lying down.
Shop-houses, timber lofts and older flats: arranging the visit
Cho Lon's early twentieth-century terraces are described with timber frames and carved doors, and many have since gained plank lofts and wooden stairs. The procedure stays the same; the arrangements change:
- Shop on the ground floor
- We come at a quiet time for the shop, follow the route you show us, take the equipment straight up to the bedroom and clean the mattress on the bed.
- Plank loft or wooden stairs
- Equipment goes up in small loads, and the boards around the mattress are covered so that no water sits on the timber.
- Bedroom under the roof
- Book a morning, before the room heats up, then open the door and run a fan so the mattress dries the same day.
- Guest room
- Can be added to the visit for the main bedroom; each mattress is priced separately.
- Flat in an older block
- Tell us if management or the residents' group must be notified; we send the specialist's name and photo before the day.
Latex, spring, foam or pressed cotton: the method for each
Tell us the type and age of the mattress, or send a photo of its side label, and your Up specialist, an identity-verified cleaner trained to the Up Standard, comes prepared:
- Latex
- Very little water, no heat and no strong sun; moisture is drawn straight out so the latex keeps its spring.
- Spring
- Solution is extracted the moment it is sprayed, so no water collects in the spring unit.
- Foam
- A light spray and several slow passes of the extraction head, so the surface neither dips nor loses shape.
- Pressed cotton
- Dense filling holds water for a long time; we look at photos first and take the job only if it can dry in time.
- Topper
- Cleaned in place during the same visit and priced by size.
What mattress cleaning costs in District 5
Prices are by width, for one side: 350,000 VND for a single under 1.4 m, 450,000 VND for 1.6 m, 550,000 VND for 1.8–2 m. Cleaning the underside as well adds 120,000 VND per mattress, and intensive dust-mite treatment adds 100,000 VND. Examples use the price list; your written quote is the figure that counts.
- Included: solution, equipment, protective covers and extraction; nothing outside the quote is charged without your written approval.
- Old stains usually fade rather than vanish; the expected result is stated beforehand and recorded in the Up Report.
- Four-storey townhouse, three bedrooms
- One 1.8 m, one 1.6 m and one single mattress, one side each: 1,350,000 VND.
- Bedroom under the roof
- One 1.6 m mattress, both sides: 570,000 VND.
- Main bedroom and guest room
- A 1.8 m mattress with dust-mite treatment and a 1.6 m mattress on one side: 1,100,000 VND.
- Five bedrooms above a stockroom
- Two 1.8 m, two 1.6 m and one single, all with dust-mite treatment: 2,850,000 VND.
Stairs, parking and drying
The mattress is cleaned in place, so only the equipment needs a clear path. District 5 stairs are often narrow, steep and sometimes timber, so it comes up in several small trips. Streets fill early and many have lorry delivery hours and limits on stopping; please tell us the nearest place to leave a motorbike. In older blocks that require notice, time spent on formalities after an on-time arrival does not count as lateness.
- Strip the sheets, pillowcases and mattress protector before we arrive.
- Move things away from the bed so all its edges can be reached, and leave a socket free.
- Afterwards, keep the door open and a fan or the aircon running until the mattress is dry, usually 6–8 hours.
How often to clean, and booking
As a guide: about every 4 months above a shop or stockroom, ideally with dust-mite treatment; every 3–4 months for young children or older relatives; about every 6 months in a flat with little dust; and at least yearly in a guest room.
- Send the number, size, type and floor of each mattress and your address to 0968 726 135 by phone, WhatsApp or Zalo, or use the Quote page.
- Accept the written quote and choose a time from 07:00 to 20:00; the specialist's name and photo arrive the day before.
- Each side takes about 45–60 minutes; you check every mattress with the specialist and receive drying advice.
- Pay after the walk-through by bank transfer or cash. If we are more than 15 minutes late, that visit is 10% off; anything that falls short is redone free if you reply within 48 hours of the Up Report. VAT invoices are issued by Uptech Technology Solution Company Limited (tax code 0316973414).
