From district to city to wards: where Thu Duc is today
Many people still picture the Thu Duc District that lasted until the end of 2020. In 2021 it joined Districts 2 and 9 to form Thu Duc City under Resolution 1111/NQ-UBTVQH14; on 1 July 2025 Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 reorganised that city into 12 wards, the local units that replaced districts. The old district's land became four of them, so today's Thu Duc ward is only one part.
Sofa cleaning can be booked in all four, with the time agreed at booking. Regular slots are in An Khanh and Binh Trung, the former District 2, where our office is at 72 Nguyen Co Thach, Sala.

- Thu Duc ward

- Tam Binh ward

- Linh Xuan ward
- Linh Trung, Linh Xuan and the rest of Linh Tay, beside part of University Village.

Rentals near University Village: why their sofas wear out quickly
The Vietnam National University urban area, locally called University Village, covers about 643.7 ha, and Tuoi Tre reported that its dormitories expected around 35,500 students in the 2024–2025 academic year. Outside the dormitories, in Linh Trung, Linh Xuan and along the Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien metro line, mini-apartments, whole houses and furnished rooms are let to students, lecturers and people working nearby.
Here the sofa is often the landlord's first purchase and the hardest-used piece: friends study, eat late and sleep on it. Each change of tenant leaves drink marks, noodle spills, sweat and the last occupant's smell. A proper clean between leases helps the flat let again and gives the landlord a clear record of its condition at handover.
- Sagging seat cushions with darker patches where people sit to eat or study.
- Cigarette and food smells left after a tenant moves out.
- Soft-drink and coffee spills with a brown ring.
- A sofa bed used every night, its sleeping side smelling of sweat.

New apartments in Hiep Binh and Linh Xuan: care from the first year
Projects handed over in recent years, such as Van Phuc City by the Saigon River and Opal Riverside in Hiep Binh, bring young families who buy a new sofa with the rest of the furniture. After a year or two with small children or pets, it starts to show wear even if it still looks new overall.
- A new, light-coloured fabric sofa
- First clean after about 6–12 months of use, before marks settle into the fibres.
- Riverside terraced houses
- Ground-floor living rooms catch river air and road dust; choose a dry, sunny day and open up so the fabric dries quickly.
- Young children
- Point out milk and crayon marks; these are treated before the whole sofa is cleaned.
- Dogs or cats
- Hair is vacuumed from the cushion gaps and old urine marks spot-treated; how far the smell fades depends on how much soaked into the foam.
Fabric, sofa beds and leather: how each one is cleaned
Every visit starts with the care label, the stitching and a test of the solution on a hidden spot. Your Up specialist, an identity-verified cleaner trained to the Up Standard, then picks the method by material:
- Fabric and microfibre
- Deep vacuuming, spot treatment, then spray extraction, which pulls the dirty water straight back into the machine. Usually dry in 4–6 hours in an airy room.
- Sofa beds in rental flats
- The mechanism is opened so the inside can be vacuumed; seat and sleeping cushions are cleaned like fabric. Frames and mechanisms are not repaired.
- Leather and faux leather
- Very little water, a cleaner made for leather, then conditioner. Faux leather that has already peeled can be cleaned but not resurfaced.
- Velvet
- Close-up photos of the fabric and care label are needed for an assessment before we quote.
- Ottomans and loose cushions
- 50,000 VND each, done in the same visit.

What does sofa cleaning cost in Thu Duc? Examples for landlords and families
130,000 VND per fabric seat, 160,000 VND per leather seat, 50,000 VND per ottoman or loose cushion. The 390,000 VND minimum applies to everything cleaned in one visit, not to each item. For example:
- Included: protection, vacuuming, colourfastness testing, spot treatment, leather conditioning where needed, and the Up Report, the photo record we send after each visit.
- Stains that have been there for years may only fade; your specialist says so first, and nothing is added without your written agreement.
- Rental mini-apartment, 2-seat fabric sofa
- 2 × 130,000 VND = 260,000 VND, so the 390,000 VND minimum applies.
- Three rental rooms in one building, a 2-seat fabric sofa in each
- 6 × 130,000 VND: 780,000 VND.
- Two-bedroom apartment in Hiep Binh, 5-seat fabric corner sofa
- 650,000 VND.
- Townhouse, 3-seat leather sofa, 2 armchairs and 1 ottoman
- 850,000 VND.
- Your own sofa
- Enter seats and material on the Quote page.
Alley houses and managed buildings: getting ready
Many Thu Duc rentals sit deep in a narrow alley, so your specialist brings compact equipment and needs the nearest place to park. Apartment buildings often want contractors registered beforehand with a name and time slot; we send those details once the booking is confirmed.
If the landlord lives elsewhere, the tenant or a property manager can open the door. A specialist who arrives punctually but waits for lobby formalities is not counted as late.
- Give the house number and alley, or the building and unit, when booking.
- Tell us if a tenant will be in, so personal things can be cleared off the sofa.
- Leave a power socket free near the sofa.
- Open a window or run a fan afterwards so the fabric dries the same day.
Our commitments, and how to book
- Message a photo of each sofa with its seats, material and unit number to 0968 726 135 on WhatsApp or Zalo, or use the Quote page.
