Sofa cleaning in Phu Nhuan — townhouses, old estates and apartments

Phu Nhuan is no longer a district. Ho Chi Minh City replaced its districts with wards, the local units that now appear on an address, and Phu Nhuan's map was redrawn in two steps in 2025. The first, in force from January, put ward 3 into ward 4 and ward 17 into ward 15. The second, on 1 July 2025 under Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15, grouped the whole former district into three wards and split ward 15 between Cau Kieu and Phu Nhuan ward. An address that once said ward 15 or 17 therefore has to be placed by its location: the house number and the street are enough.

We schedule Phu Nhuan regularly, in all three wards, from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM on weekdays and at weekends.

Duc Nhuan ward

The three old wards 4, 5 and 9, with Orchard Parkview (130–132 Hong Ha) and the apartment buildings on Hong Ha and Hoang Minh Giam.

Cau Kieu ward

The old wards 1, 2 and 7 and part of ward 15: the Phan Xich Long food street and the townhouses around Phan Dinh Phung, many of them a home and a shop in one.

Phu Nhuan ward

The old wards 8, 10, 11 and 13 plus the rest of ward 15, with Kingston Residence on Nguyen Van Troi and the streets Le Van Sy and Huynh Van Banh.

In a Phu Nhuan townhouse the living room is usually on the ground floor, a roller shutter or a glass door away from the traffic. The typical home is the tall, narrow "tube house" built wall to wall, in a former district of 4.86 km² that lies between the city centre and Tan Son Nhat airport, so Nguyen Van Troi, Hoang Van Thu, Phan Dang Luu and Phan Xich Long carry traffic most of the day.

Each time a street-front door opens, fine dust settles on the seats. Many families keep the glass doors closed and run the aircon for hours against dust and noise, and in a closed room sweat and food smells stay in the cushions longer. In the rainy season, from May to November, with humidity already averaging about 79.5% over the year, that dust takes up moisture and cakes on the weave.

A house deep in an alley gets less road dust but little sun or breeze, and a sofa against the party wall can smell damp in weeks of steady rain.

Families have lived in Phu Nhuan for generations. A 2023 article by Pham Cong Luan in the publication Nguoi Do Thi describes the cu xa, housing estates built here in the 1950s and 1960s, among them Cu xa Kien Thiet on Le Van Sy; many such rows still stand between the tube houses, with here and there an old villa of high ceilings, patterned cement tiles and solid wooden furniture. Many households have grandparents, parents and children under one roof, and the living room is where relatives gather at Tet and on family memorial days.

Wooden salon set with loose cushions

Common in multi-generation homes and old villas. The cushions are cleaned, and charged per seat, like an upholstered sofa in that fabric; the wooden frame is only wiped dry, and we do not polish or repaint it.

Fabric sofa in a young family's home

Deep vacuuming, treatment of milk, sweet and crayon marks, then spray extraction. In an airy room it can be sat on again after 4–6 hours. Velvet and fabric that has been in use for many years are tested on a hidden spot first.

Leather sofa in a street-front living room

Road dust comes off first, with a vacuum and a soft brush, because wiping straight away scratches the leather. Then a leather solution and conditioning, never water. Usable after about 30 minutes.

Six months after it opened, the Phan Xich Long food street had more than 220 places to eat and drink, over 80 of them restaurant brands, the newspaper Tuoi Tre reported. Sofas and upholstered banquettes there are sat on all day, close to the kitchen and the bar, so coffee, sauce and grease are the usual marks; offices and clinics along Nguyen Van Troi and Hoang Van Thu have a sofa set in the lobby. We usually come first thing in the morning, before opening.

Fabric banquettes and sofas

Charged per seat, the count agreed from photos and measurements before we quote. Fabric needs 4–6 hours to dry, so the day the cafe is closed suits it, or the room is done zone by zone.

Leather sofas in a lobby or clinic

Ready for visitors about 30 minutes after cleaning, so the work fits before office hours or at the end of the day.

The listed price is 130,000 VND per seat for fabric and 160,000 VND per seat for leather; each ottoman or loose cushion is 50,000 VND. A visit has a minimum of 390,000 VND, applied to everything cleaned in it. The examples below are set-ups familiar in Phu Nhuan.

• That price includes the Up Report, covers for the floor and nearby furniture, the colour-fastness test, deep vacuuming, spot treatment of stains and leather conditioning; nothing is added without your written approval.

Multi-generation townhouse: wooden salon set with fabric cushions, 3 + 1 + 1

5 × 130,000 VND = 650,000 VND.

Apartment on Nguyen Van Troi or Hong Ha: 3-seat fabric sofa with 2 loose cushions

3 × 130,000 VND + 2 × 50,000 VND = 490,000 VND.

Cafe: 8-seat fabric banquette and 2 single leather chairs

8 × 130,000 VND + 2 × 160,000 VND = 1,360,000 VND.

Small office: 2-seat leather sofa

2 × 160,000 VND = 320,000 VND, so the 390,000 VND minimum per visit applies.

Many Phu Nhuan homes lie several turns into an alley, behind an entrance just wide enough for one motorbike. Show us the nearest place to leave a vehicle and the Up specialist, the UpClean staff member who does the cleaning, walks in with the machine, keeps the shared passage clean and holds the noise down for the house next door. At Kingston Residence, Orchard Parkview and the other apartment buildings of the area, service staff normally sign in at reception and use the lift the management office assigns; a wait in the lobby after an on-time arrival is not counted as lateness.

Writing to us in English

You can enquire, receive your quote and booking confirmation, and read the Up Report in English. Should you want the specialist to speak English, add a note to the booking; if we cannot arrange it we tell you ahead of the day and support the visit by phone or message.

Registering the visit

Apartment buildings often require residents to register outside staff with building management beforehand. The specialist's name, photo and contact number reach you before every visit.

Keys while you are out

The visit can go ahead without you. Leave a key with building management, reception or family: it is handled by the assigned specialist alone, the times are recorded and no key is ever copied. For a smart lock, set a temporary code; the walk-through, when the finished work is checked with you, can be held by video call.

How you pay

By bank transfer or cash, after the walk-through. A VAT invoice, where a company needs one, is issued by Uptech Technology Solution Company Limited (tax code 0316973414).

Many families book a round before Tet and before a family memorial day. A living room that fronts a main road is cleaned about every six months because of the road dust; one in an alley or an apartment every 6–12 months; cafe and restaurant seating every 3 to 6 months, depending on how many customers use it each day. Leather is cleaned and conditioned roughly twice a year; between cleans, dust it with a soft, dry cloth only, since soapy water dries it quickly.

Verified and on time

Our specialists are identity-verified and have completed Up Standard training. When one is more than 15 minutes late for the confirmed time, the invoice for that visit is cut by 10%.

Free redo within 48 hours

If any part of the work falls short, message us within 48 hours of the Up Report and we come back and redo it without charge.
