How Do We Clean Travertine Floors
Your travertine floors are part of a wider range of calcium based natural stone floors. Some have low while others have high absorbency. Unsealed travertine floors or travertine floors that have lost their protection due to intense traffic or improper maintenance, are likely to absorb and accumulate dirt residues. These dirt residues are not damaging to the tile, but when the pores are full of dirt residue it changes the look of the tile and beautiful light cream travertine look dark brown.
Floor Cleaning Dublin 14 uses top quality natural stone dirt emulsifiers and dirt dissolvers that penetrate the pores of the stone, break down the residues and facilitate easy extraction. The entire surface is then scrubbed with soft scrubbing brushes or scrubbing pads and the waste is extracted with powerful wet vacs. The results never fail to amaze us!
Grinding Travertine Floors
Some travertine floors that are badly stained, uneven or have high levels of porosity or rough patches, will require grinding. Within the grinding process we will use fine quality diamond grinding pads that gradually remove the imperfection and create a smooth and glossy finish. Some people prefer a semi gloss or a satin finish, so that kind of finish can be easily achieved by polishing the stone with different grits diamond polishing pads.

Deep Cleaning The Grout Lines
Most of the grout lines are not made from travertine. The grout lines are usually made from different types of cements that can be mixed up with all kinds of colour dyes to make it look like the floor itself or totally opposite. The grout lines are much more absorbent than the floor and are likely to get dirtier much faster.
Within the process of travertine floor cleaning and travertine floor restoration, Floor Cleaning Dublin 14 will use highly effective grout cleaning detergents and special brushes to extract all the dirt residues and restore the original colour. The grout lines will get sealed at the same time with the tiles.
Travertine Polishing With Polishing Powders
Another way of polishing and restoring the lost sheen for all flat and low porosity travertine tiles, is by polishing it with marble polishing powders. The entire process of cleaning it and grinding it still applies, but as the final operation, the entire floor will be buffed with white pads and fine quality marble polishing powders.
The marble polishing powder granules contain special polishing additives that in contact with the water are released directly onto the surface. Through a mechanical friction with the white pad, the top layer of your travertine floor is polished to a high gloss and highly durable finish. This type of travertine floor polishing system is the most widely used by most of the professional travertine floor polishing contractors in Ireland.
Travertine Floor Polishing With Sealers
Another popular way of polishing and protecting travertine floors against staining and all kinds of general dirt absorption, is by sealing with impregnators and protectors. Floor Cleaning Dublin 14 uses a number of top quality solvent based and water based impregnators and topical sealers from Faber. We can create whatever level of sheen is needed and we can maintain your beloved travertine floor as natural as requested.
The sealers penetrate the tile from the top and they block all the pores from absorbing more dirt. A sealed travertine floor is likely to absorb less dirt and stay in great shape for much longer than a surface that is left unprotected.
How To Maintain Your Travertine In Great Shape For Longer
99% of the issues relating to travertine floors are caused by poor maintenance. Most owners of natural stone floors ignore the daily routine cleaning, the sealing of the stone and the care needed to keep the floors in great condition. There are a number of issues that will permanently damage your floors if left untreated and there are a number of issues that will only temporarily affect the look of the tiles but can be easily sorted out at a later stage.
01 PH Neutral Floor Cleaners
The newly polished tiles will only stay like that if proper natural stone floor cleaners and maintainers are used. A low PH or neutral floor cleaner will safely clean the daily dirt without leaving a residue behind and without affecting the sheen of the stone.
02 Flat Mops
A normal cotton mop or a large Kentucky mop is likely to leave a huge splash of water and dirt residue. All that residue will stain the floor and build up a coat of residue that will change the look of your floors and grout lines for good. Use a proper flat mopping system in conjunction with a neutral PH floor cleaner. Call Floor Cleaning Dublin 14 to find out more or for advice.
03 Rugs And Mats
A rug that is left for a long period of time on any travertine floor is likely to create a patch under it. If you are really into classic rugs, make sure that you remove the rug as the floor gets cleaned and is only put back down after the floor has dried. Do not use rugs or mats with rubber backing because it keeps constant humidity on the surface.
04 Spills
There is no way that at some point or another a spill won't happen. Some liquids are much worse than others. A citric based drink spilled on a newly polished surface is likely to burn down the sealer and the floor. A red wine stain will create a dark patch if left on the surface for long periods of time. A bleach or acid spill will really damage the travertine floor for good in some cases.
