How to Make Travertine Tiles Shine in Houston, TX

Are you uncomfortable with your travertine tiles?

Countless numbers of our customers are ready to break their tumbled travertine flooring because they find it challenging to get it clean.

We hear such stories of how the tiles looked so beautiful in the store and even better when they were displayed, justifying the high cost of the flooring. However, after just a short time, the floor started to get filthy and soon becomes almost impossible to clean.

The holes that make this kind of travertine so appealing are the leading cause of the problem. Over time they fill with debris making the floor looks dirty and unattractive. No matter how hard you try to clean the floor, you cannot get the dirt out of the holes.

As times goes on, new holes start to appear, and the shadow cast by deep holes look just like black dirt, even when they are clean.

Also, over time, abrasive grit and dry soil wear the surface of the new stone wears, leaving scratches and small holes where different size stone particles break off the surface. The pitted, scratched coating fills up with dirt, leaving ugly black spots all over the floor.

Cleaning with a mop and bucket will never make it clean.

You can only have a perfect cleaning when you clean out the holes with pressurized hot water, just like using a mini jet washer on each hole.

This unique cleaning is called “clean and capture.” We use equipment that will clean out the dirty holes with high-pressure hot water. The beauty of this equipment is that there is no messy over-spray. All the cleaning contains in the head of the machine. It is also particularly good at removing deep-rooted dirt in the tile grout areas.

The dirty floor looks terrible, and our customer was embarrassed to invite people into her kitchen.

It is such a shame, as the clean area demonstrates what a beautiful flooring tumbled travertine can be if it is clean.

Once we had thoroughly cleaned and dried this floor, we filled the large holes with color-matched grout. Finally, we applied a hard-wearing acrylic surface sealer.

When a tumbled travertine floor securely sealed, it is surprisingly simple to keep it clean if you use damp microfiber cleaning. However, if you use regular mopping with a cotton mop, then your floor will get dirty again quite quickly because cotton mops push dirty water into the holes whereas a damp microfiber mop absorbs the polluted soil into its fibers and not into the holes.
