Travertine Care

Regardless travertine porous nature after tiles’ surface is coated with sealers and/or impregnators it is quite simple to take care of travertine surface.

To clean travertine floors vacuum or sweep the area first, then dust mop interior floors frequently using a clean, non-treated dry dust mop. Periodic maintenance involves mopping with clean, potable water and neutral and mildly abrasive (pH 7) cleaners. Soap-less cleaners are recommended because they minimize filming and streaking.

For travertine in bath & wet areas use a squeegee after each use to minimize soap scum. To remove soap scum, use a non-acidic soap scum remover or a solution of ammonia and water (about ½ cup ammonia to a gallon of water). Frequent or overuse of an ammonia solution may eventually dull the surface of the stone.

In case of spills and stains on travertine blot up the spill with a paper towel immediately. Flush the area with water & mild soap and rinse several times. Dry the area thoroughly with a soft cloth. If spots or stains are oil based (grease, tar, cooking oil, milk, & food stains) clean tiles with scouring powder with bleach or liquid cleanser with bleach or household detergent or ammonia or mineral spirits (flammable). For organic (tea, coffee, cosmetics, fruit, tobacco, & urine) - clean with 12% hydrogen peroxide directly on stain and add a few drops of ammonia. Leave until bubbling stops.
Copper & Metal: Use poultice with ammonium chloride or ammonium hydroxide.
Biological (mildew, algae, lichens, moss, & fungi): Clean with dilute ammonia (1/2 cup in a gallon of water) or bleach or hydrogen peroxide.
Efflorescence (white powdery layer of film on surface of travertine): If the installation is new, dust mop or vacuum powder. Repeat as necessary as the stone dries out. If the problem persists use the poultice with distilled water or contact the contractor to identify and remove the cause of the moisture.

DO NOT USE lemon juice, vinegar or other cleansers containing acids such as bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners, or tub & tile cleaners.
