Methods for Cleaning Travertine

You have to seal your tiles annually to make them safer so that no breakage occurs. Use a paint pad, paint brush or small roller for applying a new coat of sealer between the lines of the tiles. Apply the second coat after 15minutes of applying the first coat. Use a cotton coat for wiping off the excess sealer that has been applied. You can also use aerosol tile sealers for the sealing process. Tiles are ready to walk on after 2 to 4 hours after the sealing process is over. The tile and grout cleaning Miami services and the similar services in other cities offer online aerosol sealers that are home delivered at no extra cost.

Spills of acidic materials many-a-times fall on the tiles. Other consumable items such as coffee, wine and tea etc are also prone to falling on the floor. Wash these spills immediately as they fall. The longer they are on floor, the more damage they can cause.

The tiles must be cleaned with a stone soap or a neutral cleaner. They can be applied by using a soft cotton cloth, a sponge or a clean mop. The wet mop must be followed by a dry mop. Do not initiate the mopping process unnecessary and conduct it only when tiles are unclean.

The beauty products, toiletries etc that are placed in the bathroom should be kept on a tray. Their accidental spillage may damage the tiles. If you keep bottles and glasses on your travertine counter then place them on coasters. This way the below tile counter will be safe.

The entryways of the homes and other places and rooms should have shoe mats. The mats prevent the dust and dirt from the shoes from entering into the homes and damaging the tiles.

Dust mopping of tiles prevent dust from gathering on the tiles and damaging them. Do it more often and at-least once in a day
