Advice

  • Clean the travertine thoroughly and reseal it every year or every two years.
  • Open windows and doors to make sure the space where you work is well ventilated.Penetrating cleaners and sealants can produce harmful fumes.
  • For maintenance cleaning, use a microfiber cloth and warm water with a neutral detergent if you need to wash more thoroughly.

Warnings

  • Acidic substances such as lemon, vinegar, wine and baking soda affect (or erode) travertine marble, so it is important to clean any stains caused by these as soon as possible.It is also important to continue maintaining the sealing of your travertine surfaces, because when the pores are sealed the acid remains more in the surface and the travertine is less damaged.
  • Do not use a trim sealer.These insulators sometimes scratch the marble or don't last very long.Additionally, the porous nature of stone can cause trim sealer to produce air bubbles and, as a result, dirt become trapped.Penetrating insulators expand into the pores and become part of the stone, while at the same time protecting it.
