How to maintain your travertine floor clean all the time

Daily maintenance will consist of dry dust mopping using a clean rayon mop. Regular damp mopping will also be required. This must be carried out using a good quality stone soap alternated with fresh water. It is important that soap residue doesn’t build up on the surface of the stone. Spills should be wiped promptly to prevent staining or etching. Acid based chemicals used for household cleaning can damage the surface of Travertine and other calcite stones on contact. Similar damage from acid based foods and beverages can be avoided if not left to dwell.

What is Travertine?

Travertine is a Beautiful Luxurious Natural Stone that comes in a range of tumbled, honed or polished tiles. Travertine is a very porous and soft stone that can attract grime easily. Visually Travertine will have a holey appearance which can vary from tiny pinholes to large irregular voids. This is due to the presence of gas bubbles when it is formed. Once the Travertine is cut into tiles, the holes can either be filled with grout or epoxy fillers or left unfilled.
