Travertine is a very popular stone for floors in homes throughout the Austin, TX area. Santa Fe Floor Care is highly experienced in the care and maintenance of travertine.
We perform several different services on travertine from cleaning and sealing, to honing and polishing, to filling holes. We can make your travertine look nothing less than spectacular, whether you prefer a matte, satin, or glossy finish.
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.
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.

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.
Got stains? Help is at your fingertips.
Sometimes, in spite of your best efforts, stains happen. Fortunately, most stains and discolorations can be resolved. Visit our Stain Management App page for specific directions, if you prefer DIY methods.
Of course, you are always welcome to schedule services with us if you would rather not get your hands dirty. Our expert technicians know how to treat virtually any kind of stain you may be dealing with.
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.
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.
