Travertine Cleaning

We can deep clean even the most soiled stone.

While any travertine surface can become dirty and grimy with use, unfilled travertine with its naturally varying surface texture and inherent holes can be particularly challenging once dirt has had time to accumulate in the hollows and low points.

Not to worry, though, we can remove deeply imbedded soiling, strip away years of buildup of unsightly topical treatments, remove soap film in showers, get rid of soot on fireplaces, and resolve a host of other travertine cleaning problems, leaving your stone as pristine as the day it was installed.

Filling Holes in Travertine

To fill or not to fill...? The choice is up to you...

Travertine has naturally occurring holes, so it is available in two distinct forms — filled and unfilled. In “filled” travertine, a color-matched material is used at the factory to fill the holes, giving the stone a smooth finish. In “unfilled” travertine the natural holes remain exposed for a rustic, earthy finish.

If you have unfilled travertine that you want to be filled, or the holes in your filled travertine have become exposed and need to be refilled, we can perform this service for you.

Refinishing: Honing & Polishing

Erasing damage and achieving a new finish.

Santa Fe Floor Care can hone your travertine surfaces to eliminate surface imperfections such as dull spots, scratches, etching and other wear and tear, resulting in a damage free surface that looks like new again.

With the damage erased, our expert technicians can polish your travertine using the appropriate diamond-infused pads or polishing powders, achieving a honed (soft matte) finish that is warm, inviting, and velvety smooth, a gorgeous glass-like polish, or something in between that suits your taste.

Sealing Travertine

Let's get your stone protected from stains.

Once your travertine floors, showers, tub surrounds, walls, and other travertine surfaces are newly restored, we highly recommend you have us seal your travertine to help inhibit staining. 

Like all natural stone, travertine is naturally porous and quick to absorb staining agents. It’s true most stains can be resolved, but who wants to go to all that trouble, expense and frustration when it can easily be avoided? A thorough professional sealing is a good, inexpensive way to head stains off at the pass.

Travertine Color Enhancing

Added color intensity with protection.

Travertine is characterized by its neutral earth-tone colors. For certain types of travertine, our skilled technicians can apply an enhancing sealer to intensify the color and enrich its natural beauty.
