Two mechanical arms pop out ether side with a squeegee and applicator and clean them ... lol i can see this in years to come..

But i dont know the real way they work

Very true! I think its just a blag to put more money on them.

If you asking how to clean them... You just clean them like you would normal windows..

I haven't a clue how they clean there self tho ???

Looked at a conservatory the other day with this glass.............3 months old and showing signs
of algi growth.

Clean with pur water so they cannot come back on you if there is a complaint to the window company.

You would be there 1st escape goat.
