Travertine stone, whether used for countertops or floors, is easily damaged if not cleaned regularly or properly. Dirt, food, spills and debris left on the surface of the stone can leave scratches and stains, while the wrong cleaners or harsh scrubbing can dull the finish or leave marks that ruin the look of the stone. Keeping travertine stone especially clean by quickly removing dust and dirt will go a long way toward preserving the look of travertine stone tiles and countertops. Instructions as follows: Firstly, wipe up any spills, drips or water spots immediately using a sponge or soft cotton rag. Spills left on travertine stone, especially those containing any sort of acid, such as citric acid, may leave behind permanent damage if not cleaned immediately. Secondly, moisten a clean cotton cloth or sponge with warm water. Thirdly, wipe the counter down with the damp cloth or sponge. Scrub only lightly as necessary to remove food or other debris. Rinse the cloth or sponge frequently so that dirt and debris picked up on the cloth does not scratch the finish of the stone as you clean. Fourthly, dry the travertine tile with a clean, dry cotton cloth immediately after cleaning. Fifthly, clean travertine stone countertops once every three to four months with a cleaner by mixing a gentle cleaner made for stone with water. Wipe the counters down with a sponge or soft cotton cloth dipped in the cleaning solution. Rinse the counters by wiping them with a soft cotton cloth or sponge dampened in clean, warm water, and then dry them thoroughly. Use only a cleaner designed for stone such as travertine or limestone, and don't use it more often than every three months or you could dull the finish of your countertop. Sixthly, sweep the entire floor, making sure to remove as much dirt and debris as possible. Seventhly, dry mop the floor using a clean, dry dust mop to remove any remaining dust or dirt. Do not use any cleaners or solutions on the dry mop. Eighthly, mop the floor using a sponge or soft cotton mop and lukewarm water. Do not use any cleaners. Ninthly, dry the floor immediately after mopping by placing a clean, soft cotton cloth over the head of a mop. Tenthly, mop the floor with cleaner once every three to four months, using a cubic stone cleaner designed for travertine. Sweep, dust mop and then mop with the cleaner. Rinse using a clean mop head and fresh water, and then dry the floor. Tips & Warnings Wipe counters and sweep and dust floors at least twice per week to prevent permanent damage and scratches from dirt. Wipe or sweep more often if you live in a dusty area or if the weather is windy. Keep dirt down by placing rugs and runners at entrance ways, and by keeping trivets and trays on counters to protect the stone. Don't use any cleaners that contain abrasives, citric acid or ammonia, or use any homemade cleaners containing lemon, orange or vinegar, all of which could cause damage. Use only cleaners designed specifically for travertine stone.
