In General |
- For most Glass Tile regular cleaning with a mild bathroom cleaner, window cleaner, or mild diluted dish soap and a soft cloth or sponge is recommended. Use cleaning products that don’t leave a residue behind. Rinse with a soft wet cloth. Buff dry with a soft cloth.
- Do not use acids or cleaners containing acids or oils, corrosive chemicals, or abrasive cleaners.
- For borders with a combination of Stone and Metal or Glass, a regular cleaning with a neutral stone cleaner is recommended.
- We recommend sealing all stone products with a high quality sealer (preferably a penetrating sealer). Make sure any excess sealer is removed from the surface of the glass and metal before it is allowed to dry.
- Most glass & metal tile does not require sealing. Matte or frosted glass tile can be sealed with a topical sealer to reduce staining, but it’s not required to protect the tile. Metal tiles do not require sealing.
