Travertine tiles are an ideal flooring option chosen by many homeowners, architects, and interior designers for many reasons such as their strength and ability to resist damage and corrosion. The durability of Travertine is only one of its benefits; it is also a very stylish tile option that offers lavishness without being too expensive. When properly maintained, these types of tiles will last a very long time with only minor scratches and chips.
Though Travertine is very resilient, it is still recommended to do regular cleaning and maintenance in order to extend its lifetime and protect your investment. The proper types of products and methods must be used to do so, as some solutions can react with the stone and cause harm. To obtain and sustain an immaculate condition, having your tiles sealed before installation and after professional cleanings is recommended. This will prevent damage as the tiles are porous enough to allow for penetration of mold or staining. A low quality or improper sealant can be just as harmful as not having a sealant at all. A good sealer will prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt and extend the life of your floors.
Travertine does not do well against acidic solutions as they can be damaging. Testing your products beforehand is the best way to asses whether or not what you are planning is safe to use. At EuroArts Tile and Grout Cleaning, we have extensive experience with all types of flooring tiles, and we know exactly what to use and when to apply it. After an initial pre-cleaning assessment, we will be able to recommend the best products to clean your Travertine as well as your grout.
