MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR TRAVERTINE

Travertine, limestone and marble have an uncanny resemblance as far as physical and chemical composition is concerned. Due to this very reason, we believe that the cleaning and care methods of all of them are more or less same. However, if you want to increase the durability of the travertine stone and maintain it properly for long, it is essential to know the difference.
Travertine is highly sensitive to acidic liquids such as juice or wine and also it is less dense than granite. Polished travertine is quite stain-resistant. If tomato ketchup, spaghetti sauce or effervescent beverages gets spilled on the tile accidently, it is advisable that you wipe it off quickly using a stone cleaning product and hot water.
Vacuum cleaning of the stone flooring is prohibited as it might produce cracks and chips on the tile. Using a broom, dust mop your floor frequently, and once or twice a week you can use a wet mop even. Prevention is the best remedy when it comes to handling travertine stone. Hence, carpet runners and doormats should be kept at the entrance of a floor in order to keep dirt away which could in turn spoil the interlocking tile mosaic. Poultice can also be put to use in case the travertine is not responding to the normal cleaning procedures.
