Top 10 Foggers and Disinfectants for Home-Based Childcare Groups and Small Nurseries: Lessons from Da Nang's Kindergarten HFMD Clusters, 2026
Da Nang logged 215 HFMD cases in one week, the year's highest, with clusters at five childcare facilities including a small childcare group. What should Thai home-based childcare groups prepare?
The Real Story from the News: 215 Cases in One Week
Tuoi Tre News reported on 13 April 2026 that Da Nang had 215 HFMD cases in the week of 6–12 April, double the previous week, with clusters at five childcare facilities including the Nha Co Nang childcare group.
The city had 803 cases since January, double the same period of 2025. The health department inspected kindergartens and childcare centres, including supplies of disinfectants, warning that inadequate hygiene greatly raises outbreak risk.
Why Choosing the Right Equipment Matters
Home-based childcare groups look after several toddlers in one room where they sleep, eat and play, with nappy changes near play areas and few carers. Handwashing points, toy-wiping rounds and keeping sick children home matter greatly even for small operators.

Prefer Not to Do It Yourself? Use a Professional Service
If buying equipment is not practical or the area is too large, use the World Health Disinfection disinfection service or ozone treatment service. The team wears full protective equipment, chooses products to suit the germ and surface, and reports after the job.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How can small childcare groups start preventing HFMD? A: Screen children each morning, wash hands with soap, wipe toys daily and keep sick children home.
Q: How long before the area can be used? A: After ULV fogging, areas are typically usable about 30 minutes later. For ozone treatment, no people or pets may be inside and the room must be ventilated before use.
Q: Can I get a tax invoice? A: Yes. Tax invoices are issued and 3% withholding tax is supported. Call 065-556-6294 or LINE @whd268.
Health References
Follow disease updates from Thailand's Department of Disease Control (hotline 1422) and the World Health Organization. Disinfection reduces germs in the environment and is not medical treatment; anyone with symptoms should see a doctor.
Summary
Da Nang shows clusters can start in small childcare settings. Carers with hygiene discipline are the ones parents trust with their children.
