This week, our BNI chapter will hear from Voda Cleaning & Restoration of Jersey City about creating healthier homes and businesses through professional cleaning and restoration services.

From water damage and mold remediation to carpet, upholstery, and tile cleaning, Voda focuses on helping families and businesses maintain cleaner, safer indoor environments using eco-friendly solutions and advanced restoration techniques.

During the presentation, we will learn :
• Why “clean-looking” spaces can still hide allergens, bacteria, and contaminants
• The importance of addressing mold issues early
• Common situations where professional cleaning and restoration can make a major difference
• Ideal referral opportunities, including families with kids or pets, daycare centers, medical offices, gyms, senior facilities, and commercial properties

We’re proud to spotlight local businesses making a positive impact in our community.
