- bogomipz 10y agoI looked at the link for SolarDome referenced in the article and wasn't able to find a good answer to that on their faq: http://www.solardome.co.uk/faqs/ http://www.solardome.co.uk/faqs/ I'm guessing people clean these with a telescoping pole. But I could see that being a back-breaking exercise. But maybe that's a small place to live in such harmony with your surroundings.
