Which areas of District 2 do we cover?
Under Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15, effective 1 July 2025, the former District 2 is now three wards: An Khanh, Binh Trung and Cat Lai, with the old An Phu ward divided between An Khanh and Binh Trung. Estate agents and residents still say "District 2", so book using the name you know — we will translate it to the new ward.
From our office at 72 Nguyen Co Thach in Sala, we clean sofas in An Khanh and Binh Trung regularly, 07:00–20:00 every day of the week. Cat Lai is served once we have agreed a time slot with you.
- An Khanh ward — regular service
- Formed from Thu Thiem, An Loi Dong, Thao Dien, the old An Khanh ward and the rest of An Phu. Apartments such as Empire City, The Metropole Thu Thiem, Masteri Thao Dien, Xi Riverview Palace and Masteri An Phu; villas and townhouses including Saroma and SariTown in Sala and the Thao Dien villa compounds.
- Binh Trung ward — regular service
- Formed from Binh Trung Dong, Binh Trung Tay and part of An Phu. Diamond Island (Dao Kim Cuong), The Global City with its handed-over SOHO townhouses, Lakeview City, Palm City and Estella Heights.
- Cat Lai ward — by arrangement
- The former Thanh My Loi and Cat Lai, home to Vista Verde and Feliz en Vista.
A sofa beside a river-view window: sun, humidity and darkened armrests
Many apartments in Thu Thiem, Thao Dien and Sala have floor-to-ceiling glass facing the Saigon River, and the sofa usually sits right by it for the view. Hours of direct sun fade fabric unevenly and dry out leather, which gradually loses its suppleness and natural sheen.
Then the rains arrive — May to November, with relative humidity around 80% according to the Ho Chi Minh City government portal. Cushion fillings absorb moisture, microfibre starts to smell, and armrests and headrests darken with sweat and skin oils. Alternating harsh sun and high humidity means a riverside sofa needs more care than it appears to.
Proper cleaning lifts dust, body oils and damp odours, but it cannot restore colour already bleached by the sun. Your Up specialist records this honestly in your Up Report, so you know exactly what to expect before and after.
- Armrests, headrests and seat edges darker than the rest.
- A damp smell from microfibre after weeks of rain, especially in a closed-up living room.
- Leather that feels dry and rough and has lost its natural sheen.
- Crumbs, pet hair and fine dust lodged between seat and back cushions.
- Drink and food stains spreading across the fabric.

Fabric or leather: how each material is treated
Before starting, your Up specialist checks the upholstery, stitching and care label, tests for colour-fastness in a hidden spot, and only then chooses the solution. Each material follows its own Up Standard procedure to avoid colour bleeding, shrinkage or stiffening.
- Fabric and microfibre
- Deep vacuuming of the frame, crevices and underneath; spray extraction that lifts dirty water straight away; pile brushed back into line. Usually dry in 4–6 hours in a ventilated or air-conditioned room.
- Genuine leather
- Never washed with water. Cleaned with a dedicated leather solution, a soft-bristle brush and microfibre cloths, then conditioned to keep it supple and help prevent cracking; usable after about 30 minutes.
- Suede, nubuck and peeling bonded leather
- Assessed first; your specialist recommends an approach suited to the sofa's actual condition.
- Zip-off cushion covers
- Cleaned in place rather than machine-washed, to avoid shrinkage and loss of shape.
- Ottomans and loose cushions
- 50,000 VND each, treated according to their own material.
Rental homes, young children and pets in Thao Dien and An Phu
According to Tuoi Tre in 2020, Thao Dien was home to nearly 6,000 foreign residents of 102 nationalities. Many apartments in Thao Dien and An Phu are let furnished, and the sofa — where every tenant leaves their mark — is the first thing prospective tenants notice in the living room.
For families with young children and pets, the sofa is also a playground, a snack bar and a favourite nap spot. Milk, fruit juice, pet hair and odours settle into microfibre faster than into leather, so the cleaning cycle should follow each household's routine.
- Landlords and rental agents
- Book as soon as the outgoing tenant leaves; the before-and-after Up Report doubles as clear handover evidence, and a VAT invoice is available on request.
- International residents
- Advice, quotes, booking and your Up Report in English; an English-speaking specialist at your home if you note it when booking, subject to the schedule.
- Families with young children
- Clean fabric sofas every 6 months; blot spills straight away with a clean cloth rather than rubbing.
- Homes with dogs or cats
- Hair is vacuumed in several passes from crevices and underneath; stains and odours are spot-treated. Please keep pets in another room until the sofa is dry.
- No need to be home
- Many clients leave a key with building management or family; the whole visit is recorded in your Up Report, sent by WhatsApp or Zalo.

Building access, timing and drying in District 2 condominiums
Many District 2 buildings ask for contractors to be registered with management in advance, ID to be shown at the lobby and the service lift to be used for equipment. We send your specialist's name and photo beforehand; time spent on lobby formalities after an on-time arrival does not count as lateness.
Your sofa is cleaned where it stands — no dismantling, no transport. A three-seater takes about 60–90 minutes; fabric is usually dry in 4–6 hours, and leather is ready in about 30 minutes once the conditioner has absorbed.
- Wooden floors, rugs and skirting around the sofa are covered before the machine is set down.
- Dirty water is recovered by the machine and disposed of properly — never onto balconies or common areas.
- Draw the curtains while fabric dries so direct sun doesn't fall on damp upholstery, and avoid sitting on it or placing cushions back until it is dry.
- Between cleanings, draw sheer curtains in the harshest hours, keep air-conditioning from blowing straight onto leather, and vacuum crevices weekly.
