Thao Dien is now in An Khanh ward: where we clean mattresses
Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 of 16 June 2025 placed Thao Dien ward in the new An Khanh ward from 1 July 2025, together with Thu Thiem, An Loi Dong, the old An Khanh and the rest of An Phu. District-level government ended on the same date, so District 2 is now a familiar name and no longer an administrative unit; the ward is the local unit that remains.
Write Thao Dien ward, District 2, as on your lease, or An Khanh ward; our specialists know both. We take mattress bookings across Thao Dien, from Nguyen Van Huong, Xuan Thuy and Quoc Huong streets to Thao Dien station on Metro Line 1, every day from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Our office at 72 Nguyen Co Thach in the Sala urban area is in the same ward.

Why mattresses in riverside homes hold damp and odour
For the city as a whole, the Ho Chi Minh City government portal gives average relative humidity of 79.5% a year, about 80% in the rainy season from May to November, and about 1,949 mm of rain a year. No separate figures exist for the riverside, but close to the Saigon River and among trees, as in Thao Dien, the damp air is easy to feel.
A mattress takes in sweat and moisture every night and is almost never put out in the sun, which gives dust mites and mould the conditions they need. Dust mites are very small creatures that multiply where it is warm and damp and there are flakes of skin to feed on. In people sensitive to them, they can contribute to sneezing and an itchy nose on lying down.
A mattress cannot go in a washing machine, so we work in three stages: deep vacuuming in several passes, spray extraction with a controlled amount of water, then immediate moisture extraction so the core stays dry. Old stains that have soaked into the core usually fade and seldom vanish, and your specialist says so beforehand.
- A damp or sweaty smell that is stronger after weeks of rain.
- Small dark specks on the border or underside, a possible sign of mould.

Villas and homes with many bedrooms: planning the visit
A villa or compound house in Thao Dien has a good number of mattresses on several floors, and each needs about 6–8 hours to dry. The visit starts in the morning with the main bedroom and the children's rooms, so the beds are ready by evening. We list the work room by room: size, material, one side or both, with or without dust-mite treatment. When there are many mattresses the work can be split over two visits, so the family always has somewhere to sleep that night.
- Children's rooms
- The intensive dust-mite treatment is worth adding; fresh milk and drink marks are spot-treated.
- Stone floors and solid wood
- The bed frame and the floor around it are covered before the machine is set down.
A change of tenant or a family moving in: when to clean
Thao Dien has a large international community: nearly 6,000 foreign residents of 102 nationalities, according to Tuoi Tre newspaper in 2020. Homes let to foreigners here mostly come furnished, mattress included, and nothing on the surface shows a new tenant how clean it is. The cleaning list we propose between two leases therefore includes mattress cleaning and dust-mite treatment. Owners should book as soon as the outgoing tenant returns the keys, so the mattress is fully dry before handover; the Up Report then serves as a reference for owner, tenant and agent.
- Families who have just moved in
- Have the mattresses cleaned before you move in, or within the first week.
- Before a long holiday
- Clean before closing up the house, so the bedrooms do not hold an odour while it stands empty.
Spring, latex, foam and toppers: how each type is cleaned
Your specialist reads the label and checks the cover and the firmness first, because each kind of core responds differently to water, heat and pressure. One rule of the Up Standard, the procedure our specialists are trained to, applies to all of them: the core is never soaked.
- Spring
- The border and air vents are vacuumed first; the cover is spray-extracted with just enough water, because moisture in the spring unit takes a long time to leave.
- Latex
- No soaking, heat or strong sun. Very little water is used on the surface and it is extracted at once, so the mattress keeps its spring.
- Foam and memory foam
- The surface dents easily, so the vacuum head is moved lightly over several passes and the solution is sprayed in a thin film that does not sink in.
- Toppers
- Cleaned in place in the same visit, with little water; quoted by size from a photo.
- One side or both
- Both sides for a two-sided mattress. For a one-sided one the top and border are usually enough, and your specialist says so at the start to spare you a needless cost.

Gates, lobbies and drying the mattress afterwards
Many buildings ask non-residents to register and show ID at reception or with security, and to arrange lift use for equipment with building management; gated compounds usually do the same. Time spent on these formalities after an on-time arrival is not treated as lateness. Each side of a mattress takes about 45–60 minutes, and a mattress is usually dry in 6–8 hours, depending on the material and how well the room is aired.
- Run the aircon or a fan, or open the windows on a dry day; in long spells of rain, use the aircon's dry mode.
- Put the sheets back only when the surface is fully dry.
- Never put a latex or foam mattress out in direct sun to dry.
