Any issues using frosted glass tile?

18 years ago

I read the label on the KaBoom cleaning product that I've seen recommeded here and it says not to use it on frosted glass. I'm looking at two different tiles, one by Art Glass and another by Zuma, both of which seem to be "frosted glass". Anyone know why the Kaboom cleaner shouldn't be used on such a surface? Also, I'm wondering if there are other issues to be aware of with frosted glass tile in a shower. (I'd hate to create a cleaning nightmare for myself.)

Thanks,

Bill

I just had Lunada Bay/Oceanside Glass tile installed in a bath. The website says the tile "cleans easily using ph balanced soap and water or mild tile cleaners." I don't know if Kaboom is PH balanced or considered mild? I am going to ask the tile shop I purchased from what they recommend to clean it.

Maredog - I couldn't find "Oceanside" on Lunada Bay's website though I did see some beautiful tile. Does your glass tile have a frosted sruface, like it's been sandblasted? It's that frosted surface I'm wondering about.

Thanks,
Bill

Bill,

It is a frosted glass. If you look at the Lunada website under glass tiles, it is called Old Fashioned Silk. I think Oceanside owns Lunada. They have some beautiful tiles but very pricey!
