Why does my travertine tile smell bad?

Is it the dog in the house? it looks clean, but when I come into the room it smells funky.
Does the tile absorb odors? What can i do?
Thanks so much!

Hi Kathline,
If it smells like urine, then I would assume your travertine tile and grout has absorbed the urine.
Remember all natural stone is porous and the grout is even more porous.
You can try using a mixture of baking soda and water and letting it sit for a few hours before cleaning it up.
You can also try a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda and see if that'll work for you.
I hope these recipes work for you.
Thank you.
