Maintenance of Mosaic Glass

A mosaic tabletop is a work of art, and the care and treatment it receives should reflect that. A consistent routine of cleaning and maintenance will keep your mosaic bistro set looking dazzling and bright for years to come. Glass and tile mosaic bistro sets are going to require different care. We've provided cleaning recommendations for each.

Glass
If you keep to a regular cleaning schedule with your glass mosaic bistro set, simple warm water and a soft, clean cloth should be all you need to use. For a little extra cleaning power, mix a mild and non-abrasive soap with the water. Avoid using acidic or chemical cleaning products on your glass mosaic.

Preventative measures are key to keeping your glass mosaic bistro set in prime condition. Avoid resting heavy objects on the tabletop. Storage of your glass mosaic bistro set is recommended during cold or rainy seasons. During the remainder of the year, use a tarp or other covering to further protect your bistro set from the elements.

If any of the glass mosaic pieces crack, treat the crack as soon as possible using a clear glue or sealant.

Tile
When cleaning your tile mosaic bistro set, start with the gentlest options and work your way up as necessary. Start with warm water. If that's insufficient, use a non-soap-based household floor cleaner that's recommended for use on ceramic tile floors.

As a precaution, stay away from abrasive or acidic cleaners. With any new cleaning product you use on your tile mosaic bistro set, test it first on a small portion of the mosaic tabletop. That way if your tile tabletop reacts negatively to the product, you've done minimal damage.

Tile should offer a very durable and low maintenance tabletop surface for your bistro set, but take prudent steps to avoid weather damage. Store your tile mosaic bistro set during winter months. When not in use, cover your tile mosaic bistro set with a tarp or other covering to avoid unnecessary exposure to rain or sunlight.
