Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: How do I know when my travertine floors are ready for cleaning, stripping and resealing?
- A: You will know it's time to have your travertine floors stripped, cleaned and sealed once they begin to appear dull or "matte" even after you have given them an efficient regular clean. If you notice that your travertine tiles are staining easily, it's a good indication that your previous sealer is wearing off and your travertine floors will need to be resealed immediately to prevent permanent staining.
- Q: Do the products used by Tile Cleaning contain any toxic ingredients?
- A: Tile Cleaning places great importance on the safety of your family throughout the cleaning process and guarantees the use of non-toxic finishing agents. Our commitment to safety is rooted in protecting your loved ones by avoiding any potentially harmful substances or ingredients. When selecting cleaning products, Tile Cleaning exercises utmost care to exclude any ingredients that could pose health risks.

- Q: When is the best time to seal my travertine floors and how do I know that mine need sealing now?
- A: The best time to have your travertine tiles sealed is immediately after installation to prevent any accidental staining or damage. You will know that your travertine tiles need sealing once you start noticing patchy sealed areas of the floor and/or your travertine tiles are staining easier.
- Q: Will sealing my travertine prevent efflorescence?
- A: Efflorescence is a problem that travertine and most porous tiles can face. It's the tendency of the water in the travertine to bring salts from the stone to the surface as it evaporates. The water evaporates leaving the salts on the surface resulting in a whitish coating and ruining its finish. The only way to avoid this problem is to seal your travertine tiles with one of our highest quality water resistant sealer's and to stop the source of the water that is penetrating the tiles, for example a water pipe leak or damaged grout.
- Q: What steps can I take to maintain the fresh appearance of my Travertine tiles?
- A: To maintain the fresh appearance of your Travertine tiles, it is advised to follow a regular cleaning routine. Tile Cleaning recommend cleaning the tiles and grout on a weekly basis using a damp microfiber cloth and a mild detergent. This will effectively remove any dirt or grime from the tiled surface. It is important to avoid using strong detergents that contain strong acids or alkalis, as they can potentially affect the sealer. Instead, mild detergents and pH neutral substances are strongly recommended. For added protection against staining, the best advice is to seal your Travertine tiles using one of our highest quality sealers. Sealing is an excellent preventive measure that safeguards your Travertine tiles and helps maintain their pristine condition.
