Travertine Cleaning
How Do You Clean Travertine?
Travertine cleaning can be a difficult process because it comes is such a variety of colors and finishes. The stone can add an elegant, finished look to floors, countertops, showers and even outdoor patios. Travertine is a low-maintenance stone that will last for years with good care. Travertine is a warm and beautiful natural surface and complements almost any design. However, the nature of this surface means that there are some special steps you must take to keep it looking at its best. Though travertine is a stone and can endure years of wear and tear, it is not as hard as granite or travertine. This means that travertine tiles can become etched over time.
Travertine is a naturally porous material, allowing liquids and other products to seep into its surface and leave behind unwanted spots and stains. Something as benign as orange juice has the potential to deteriorate your finish due to the acidity of the juice. Just imagine what vinegar or bleach could do if not handled properly.
