Sofa cleaning in District 1 — Ba Son, Ben Thanh, Tan Dinh

District 1 is the city centre, and all of it is in our regular service area. Since 1 July 2025 the city has had wards, its local administrative units, and no districts: Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 turned the ten wards of the former District 1 into four. The old Da Kao and Nguyen Thai Binh wards were each split in two, so a single street can fall in two wards; give us the building name or house number as you know it and we match it to the new address.

We work in all four wards from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, seven days a week. Traffic in the centre changes by the hour, so the exact time is agreed when you book.

Saigon ward

All of the old Ben Nghe plus parts of Da Kao and Nguyen Thai Binh. The Ba Son residences are here, Vinhomes Golden River and Grand Marina Saigon, both at 2 Ton Duc Thang, as is The Lancaster at 22–22Bis Le Thanh Ton.

Tan Dinh ward

The old Tan Dinh and the rest of Da Kao: long-established streets of townhouses, with high-end apartments and long-term rentals to foreigners among them.

Ben Thanh ward

The old Ben Thanh and Pham Ngu Lao, part of Cau Ong Lanh and the rest of Nguyen Thai Binh. Many sofas here are in serviced apartments, officetels and rented townhouses.

Cau Ong Lanh ward

Nguyen Cu Trinh, Cau Kho, Co Giang and the rest of the old Cau Ong Lanh: mostly family townhouses and mid-sized apartment blocks, many down lanes.

A sofa in District 1 is used harder than one in a home occupied only in the evenings. The living room is where many residents meet business contacts, work from home and have friends round; in a serviced apartment the sofa is the first thing a guest touches after putting down a suitcase. Armrests, backrests and seat edges darken sooner as a result.

The riverside towers at Ba Son and along Ton Duc Thang have large areas of glass and aircon running almost continuously. Cold, dry air draws the natural moisture out of real leather, and afternoon sun through the glass fades fabric unevenly. An apartment shut up for long periods, such as that of an owner who travels often, has the opposite problem: with average relative humidity of about 79.5% and a rainy season from May to November, fabric cushions take up damp and odour. In the townhouses of Tan Dinh and Cau Ong Lanh, dust from busy roads drifts into the lower floors and settles on fabric as a faint grey film.

• Leather armrests and headrests that look greasy and feel tacky.
• Perfume, cigarette smoke or food smells that linger after guests have gone.

Branded residences and serviced apartments in the centre are often furnished with imported pieces in a wider range of materials than usual. Your Up specialist reads the care label, checks the stitching and tests colour-fastness in a hidden spot before choosing a solution and technique under the Up Standard, the procedure our specialists are trained to.

Genuine leather

Never sprayed with water. Cleaned panel by panel with as little moisture as possible, above all where skin oils build up on armrests and headrests, then conditioned. Usable after about 30 minutes.

Woven fabric, brushed fabric, microfibre

Cushion gaps and the underside are vacuumed in several passes; the spray-extraction machine then works solution into the fibres and draws the dirty water out in the same stroke. Allow 4–6 hours to dry.

Velvet

The pile flattens and changes sheen when wet. Send a close-up photo and the label; we confirm a method and price only once the material is clear.

Cotton, linen and coarse weaves

These can shrink or show water marks, so they are tested carefully and the amount of water is tightly controlled.

Suede, nubuck and peeling bonded leather

Assessed first, from photos or on site; a method is proposed only when it is safe for the surface.

Ben Thanh and Saigon wards have many serviced apartments and officetels, small office-apartments, let for short and medium stays. A clean sofa with no odour counts towards a guest's rating, and a small stain can become a public complaint.

Between two stays

Fabric needs 4–6 hours to dry, so book the morning of a vacant day; leather is usable after about 30 minutes.

A record for each unit

Each apartment gets its own Up Report with before-and-after photos, easy to file with a handover or maintenance record.

Opening the door

Reception, the operations manager or another authorised person can let the specialist in and check the work for the owner.

Paperwork

VAT invoices are issued on request by Uptech Technology Solution Company Limited (tax code 0316973414), so costs can be booked unit by unit.

The rate is per seat: 130,000 VND for fabric, 160,000 VND for leather and 50,000 VND for each ottoman or loose cushion. Each visit has a minimum of 390,000 VND; several sofas cleaned in one visit are added together before the minimum is applied.

• The seat count is agreed from photos before booking, and any change on the day applies only with your written approval.

Studio serviced apartment — 2-seat fabric sofa

2 × 130,000 VND = 260,000 VND; the minimum applies: 390,000 VND.

Officetel in Ben Thanh — 2-seat leather sofa and 1 single seat

3 × 160,000 VND = 480,000 VND.

3-bedroom apartment at Ba Son — 5-seat L-shaped leather sofa and 2 ottomans

5 × 160,000 VND + 2 × 50,000 VND = 900,000 VND.

Tan Dinh townhouse — 3 + 2 + 1 fabric suite and 4 loose cushions

6 × 130,000 VND + 4 × 50,000 VND = 980,000 VND.

Penthouse — 7-seat leather sofa and a 3-seat fabric sofa in the family room

7 × 160,000 VND + 3 × 130,000 VND = 1,510,000 VND.

Apartment towers in District 1 control access closely. Building management commonly asks the owner to declare a contractor the day before; the specialist shows ID and collects a temporary pass at the lobby; the machine travels in the goods lift and runs only in permitted hours. Details differ between towers, so we ask in advance and follow your building's rules. A wait at the lobby after an on-time arrival does not count as lateness.

The spray-extraction machine makes a moderate noise throughout, so where a tower restricts noise over the lunch break we suggest an early start or an afternoon slot.

• Wooden floors, deep-pile rugs and skirting around the sofa are covered before the machine is set down.
• Dirty water stays in the machine's tank and is emptied in the apartment's bathroom, never onto the loggia or into the corridor.

• Serviced apartments on short lets: every 3–6 months, or when a stay leaves a stain.
• Family apartments with daily use and frequent guests: every 6–12 months; about every 6 months with young children or pets.
• Leather with the aircon on nearly all day: clean and condition every 6–12 months, sooner if the sofa stands by the glass. Keep the airflow off the leather and draw the sheer curtains in the afternoon sun.
• Ask a relative or the operations manager to air an apartment that stays closed, so the fabric does not take on a damp smell.

• Send photos of the sofa and a close-up of its label by WhatsApp or Zalo on +84 968 726 135 or through the Quote page, with the number of seats, ottomans and loose cushions.
• We reply with an all-inclusive price in writing; you choose a day and time between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM that your building allows.
• Your identity-verified specialist covers the surroundings and starts; a three-seater takes about 60–90 minutes.
• You or your authorised person check each part of the couch and receive the Up Report.

Punctuality

More than 15 minutes late against the confirmed time, and the bill for that visit is reduced by 10%.

Everything back in place

The room is photographed before work starts, and cushions, ornaments and the coffee table go back where they were.

Honest about results

Sun-faded fabric and deeply cracked leather cannot be restored by cleaning; your specialist says so at the start.

Damage

Report it within 24 hours with photos; we compare with the photos taken at the start and take responsibility under our policy where our specialist is at fault.

Changing or cancelling

Free with at least 24 hours' notice; within 24 hours of the appointment the fee is 30%.
