Crossword Genius

White House soldier going round facilities (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

igloo

'white house' is the definition.
(an igloo is white in colour)

'soldier going round facilities' is the wordplay.
'soldier' becomes 'GI' (GI can mean a US soldier).
'going round' says the letters should be written backwards.
'facilities' becomes 'loo' (I've seen this in other clues).
'gi' in reverse letter order is 'ig'.
'ig'+'loo'='IGLOO'

(Other definitions for igloo that I've seen before include "cold accommodation" , "Snow-house" , "Dome-shaped dwelling" , "series of chilly blocks" , "Ice-block construction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
