Self-cleaning glass
I've read that the newly refurbished St Pancras Station has a new roof fitted with 18,000 panes of self-cleaning glass. Does anyone understand this and how it self-cleans? Would it be practicable in ordinary houses?

I notice the emphasis seems to be be organic dirt. Does that means that wind blown sand and grit doesn't rain off?
It is probably a good idea for hard-to-reach glass such as roof windows but if you have to wait for the rain to clean the normal windows you might as well do it yourself. What about the other side of the house, does that have to wait until the wind changes and it rains?
If I was a window cleaner I wouldn't be unduly worried.
