Cleaning Travertine Floor Tiles and Keep Them Looking New

Travertine floor tiles are a great way to bring luxury and beauty into your home. They’re highly durable, timeless, and easy to maintain. But even the most durable stones can wear down over time if they’re not regularly cleaned and maintained. Regularly cleaning your travertine floor tiles is important because it prevents dirt and debris from settling into the pores of the stone. Over time, existing holes can fill with dirt and dust, causing the floor itself to look dirty or new holes can start to appear as a result of everyday wear and tear. Fortunately, there are some simple steps you can take to keep your travertine floor tiles looking like new for years to come.


How to Clean Your Travertine Floor Tiles
The best way to clean travertine floors is by using warm water and a mild detergent or soap solution with a soft-bristled brush or mop. You want to avoid using any harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or steel wool which could potentially damage the surface of the tile. Next, use a vacuum cleaner with attachments specifically designed for hard surfaces such as tile floors in order to remove any loose dirt before starting the cleaning process. Finally, use a damp mop or cloth on the entire area in order to pick up any remaining dirt particles that may have been left behind after vacuuming. If you notice any stains on your travertine tile, use an appropriate cleaner specifically designed for stone surfaces in order to remove them without damaging the surface further.

How To Avoid Damage To Your Travertine Floors
It's also important that you avoid dragging furniture across your travertine floors as this can cause scratches or chips in the surface. Additionally, make sure that you immediately wipe up spills when they occur as liquids can seep into cracks between tiles which could expand over time due to temperature changes or moisture levels in the air. You should also consider applying sealer every two years in order to protect against staining from liquids such as coffee or wine which might otherwise penetrate through unsealed grout lines between tiles.
