Travertine Maintenance
Travertine
maintenance is only important if you want to keep your natural stone
investment looking good. So I guess you can say it is essential.
Cleaning travertine is the same as cleaning all other natural stone. We
recommend using a neutral cleaner for all natural stone cleaning.
Knowing
how to clean travertine is not something everyone is told how to do,
and almost every customer we have asks us how they should be
maintaining
their travertine tile, or how to clean a travertine shower.
Cleaning
travertine is pretty much the same when cleaning any natural
stone. The difference with travertine tile cleaning is there are so
many places for dirt to collect, because of how wholly travertine is.
Travertine tile is usually filled with either an epoxy fill or grout,
and sometimes is left unfilled. Even though travertine tile has a lot of holes, it's actually very dense.
Being very dense, some people say travertine doesn't needed to be
sealed. This is bad advice. I've seen travertine stained many times,
and if was just sealed properly, it many not have bee susceptible to
staining.
Part of travertine maintenance is sealing travertine whether it's flooring, or on a countertop.
After a thorough cleaning, your
travertine should be sealed with an impregnating sealer. Not all
sealers are created equal and careful research should be done when
selecting a sealer.
The sealers you find at the big box stores are of poor quality, and if
that's all you have to seal your travertine, it's better to have some
protection than none.
When it comes to travertine maintenance or cleaning
ceramic tile and grout, we strive to help educate our customers on the
best protection
they can have, helping them save time and money in costly restoration
costs down the road.
We are located in San Jose, but often find ourselves cleaning natural
stone and ceramic tile and grout throughout the Bay Area.
