In this paper a comprehensive approach of six phases is suggested to minimize the deterioration: documentation, deterioration diagnostics, treatment, conservation and management. Understanding the physical properties of the tesserae using petrographic technique was found to be useful for the understanding and conservation of the mosaic floors' materials. The use of diluted ammonia based solvent is proved to be the best workable treatment to remove the microorganism and to hinder the diffusion of the colonization of lichens on the mosaic floors in Jerash. With modification to suit local parameters, the comprehensive approach might be applied for mosaic floor with different context.
