1. Use clean fresh water to wash the dome and force dry with warm air on a regular basis. Do not allow to air dry unless air/water is very clean at the risk of leaving residue behind over many months.

2. Establish a program of remotely monitoring the dome cleanliness and setting the wash/dry cycle accordingly.

3. Consider adding detergent and/or rinse agent

4. Monitor dome for UV degradation of the plastic

5. Consider adding antibird spikes around dome.

6. You could even go crazy and automate a brush mechanism or lens visor tear-off protetcor if you were NASA
