Hard Surface Cleaning Information
-
Travertine, part of the limestone family (like marble), is a popular and relatively affordable flooring choice. It is porous, soft, and naturally formed by mineral deposits, which give it its characteristic white and brown tones.
Key Differences from Marble
Travertine: Contains natural holes from water flow; usually white and brown.
Marble: Solid, polished surface; white with veining.
Fewer holes in travertine = more expensive. Holes are typically filled with cement, but fills can pop out from wear (heels, pets, dropped items).
Appearance & Sheen
Travertine is best left in a matte finish.
Attempts to polish cause contrast between shiny marble portions and duller soil/mineral areas, creating a blotchy look.
Care & Maintenance
Sealing: Usually sealed once during installation; re-sealing is not recommended (can cause blotchy appearance).
Cleaning:
Wipe spills quickly, rinse with water.
Use damp mopping with lukewarm water.
If detergent is needed, use only mild, neutral pH (7).
Avoid acids (vinegar, juice, soda) or strong alkalines (like Spic-n-Span) as they cause etching.
Etching & Repairs
Acidic spills (coffee, wine, citrus, vinegar) will leave dull spots or rings if not cleaned immediately.
Etching can only be corrected by buffing or honing. Mighty Mac offers this service, including repair of popped fill holes.
Key Takeaway: Travertine is durable and attractive but requires careful maintenance. Keep it matte, clean spills promptly, avoid harsh cleaners, and rely on professional honing for repairs.
