Travertine Cleaning
Travertine, like all natural stone, requires regular maintenance to preserve its beauty and prevent damage. Without proper cleaning, travertine surfaces can lose their shine, accumulate stubborn stains, or get etched by common household substances such as vinegar, wine, or fruit juice. These issues not only reduce the aesthetic appeal of travertine but can also lead to more significant and costly damages that are hard to fix.
Furthermore, cleaning travertine is vital for maintaining its long-term durability. Known for its resilience, travertine’s porous nature makes it vulnerable to absorbing liquids and trapping dirt in its grout lines. This results in discolouration, dullness, and an overall tired appearance. Regular cleaning removes dirt, debris, and stains effectively, restoring the natural beauty of the stone and preventing long-term damage. Moreover, tackling these surface-level issues promptly can prevent deeper structural problems that might develop if the stone remains untreated for too long.

Yes, sealing travertine tiles is crucial to protect them from stains and moisture absorption. Sealant should be applied every one to two years, depending on the level of foot traffic and exposure to spills.
