As wildfires continue to impact our communities in Southern California, particularly in our service areas, we at Complete Interiors Carpet Cleaning want to reach out to our valued customers with important information and support. The recent fires have not only devastated natural habitats and structures but have also released toxic smoke into the air, affecting the environment and potentially your homes.
Understanding the Impact of Wildfires on Your Home
Recent studies have shown that wildfires can have unexpected effects on property values. Interestingly, properties located within one mile from fire zones have experienced a 5.1% price appreciation, while those 1-5 miles away saw a 7.21% gain. The average price appreciation for California during the same two-year period was 12.3%. .
The Hidden Dangers of Wildfire Smoke
The toxic smoke released by wildfires can penetrate your home, settling into carpets, upholstery, and other soft surfaces. This smoke carries harmful particulates that can:
- Compromise indoor air quality
- Cause respiratory issues
- Leave lasting odors
- Potentially damage fabrics and surfaces over time

Preparing Your Home: Tips for Our Customers
To minimize the impact of wildfire smoke on your home:
- Keep windows and doors closed when smoke is present outside.
- Use air purifiers with HEPA filters if possible.
