How To Remove Stains From Travertine Tile
Rachel Davis
Travertine tiles are very easy to clean, needing just a mop for regular maintenance. Use a dry mop once a daily or on a regular basis to ensure that the floor is free of dirt and other debris. It is possible to use a wet mop regularly to clean tiles by adding a stone cleaner that is top quality. These types of cleaners are able to be purchased at the local hardware shop for a small cost.

Wine, cranberry juice, coffee, as well as other dark liquids can be prone to leave staining. If spills such as this occur, take care to clean it as soon as possible to lessen the possibility of staining that is deeply etched. Utilize your stone cleaner to wash the area and eliminate the stain.
In the event that the stain is not removed using regular stone cleaner, you may want to make use of poultice. Poultices are available at hardware stores or can be made at your home. Apply the poultice to the skin and rest for the recommended duration (usually between 15 to sixty minutes) before wiping off the poultice’s material. The stain should be eliminated.
Make your own poultices at your home:
If you don’t want to purchase poultices, you can make one yourself using baking soda and stone cleaner. Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, provides the ability to absorb water, which will aid in drawing the stain away from the tile’s surface or pavers.
Mix equal quantities in baking soda, water with a small amount of regular cleaner. Mix until it’s pasty, then scrub onto the travertine paver or tile you wish to scrub clean. Then, cover the stain with a thick coat of the mixture and allow it to rest for 15 to 30 mins. Take a small portion of the area off to check whether the stain is lifted. If the stain isn’t completely removed, cover it again and let it sit for 30 mins.
To safeguard your Travertine or prevent future staining, apply sealants to ensure that your Travertine has been completely secured.
