Solar battery systems are becoming more and more prevalent in homes in Australia. Installed to increase energy efficiency, save on power bills or simply to go green, solar battery storage is fast becoming a must-have in houses of the future. But at the end of lease cleaning or when the property is handed over, one vital area is overlooked — the battery cupboard or Powerwall space. Dust, cobwebs, dirt, grime, packaging residue and disused storage space in battery systems can have an impact on how a home is presented.

Why Battery Areas Get Overlooked

The final cleaning of a property focuses on the major areas of the house such as your kitchen, bathrooms, floors and windows.

Since these are rarely accessed or used in daily life, dust will build up out of sight over time.

After a while, small dust particles, spider webs, leaves, and other types of dirt may build up near the battery storage locations and make the whole place look less attractive. Even during main inspections of a property, areas like these, which sometimes get missed, may still be examined when talking about the overall cleanliness standard.

Meanwhile, disused utility rooms can drag down the whole inspection, even when the rest of the home is shining.
