Help with cleaning skylights

[BigJohnfromCT]

Good day folks. I am seeking advice and recommendations for cleaning my skylights. History: Quadrafire Mt Vernon AE installed in 2011. Have been burning Hamers until then 25-26 season when I switched to Forest Fuels 100% oak pellets. They burn almost as well as the Hamers. Every year or two I've had to clean the skylights on either side of the exhaust which is about 3-4' above the skylights. In past years I've been using CLR to clean the skylights. This year, burning Forest Fuel pellets, the residue on the skylights ( see pictures) is much worse and the CLR seems to have little or no effect on it. I apply that it with a spray bottle, wait a bit and use a plastic brisle brush to clean much to no avail and rinse with water. I am seeking any advice or recommendations to help clean the skylights. Thank you.

I should have mentioned that, at 82, I'm no longer inclined to climb on the roof to clean them. I need to do everything from a ladder. Thanks again.

At 82 I would be inclined to just leave it even, at my age, 76, the same thing
If you want, this is how I do my skylight. I use a 3M scrub pad with a little
dish soap, then wash with a damp cloth and shine with a paper towel. If you
can find the 3 M scrub pad in WHITE rather than Green. White is used for silver
and gold, not as coarse. If not, the green works fine, just a little rougher. If your
skylites are plastic, then the 3m pad is not recommended will scratch the plastic!
