Travertine Care and Your Grout
Travertine is a stone that is in the calcium carbonate family of stones that include travertine, marble, and limestone. Each of these stones despite looking very different than each other require remarkably similar care. For example, part of a proper travertine care regimen includes avoiding exposure to anything acidic or any harsh chemicals. Another thing that you have to be aware of, is you want to make sure that the grout that is between your tiles is in good condition as well as the grout that is underneath the tiles as well.
We know what you're thinking. Without a high powered ultrasound machine or X Ray device, how can you know if the grout that is underneath your tile is good? Well, the grout that is between the tiles is a key indicator. If it is good, it's likely that the grout under the tiles is good too. And you want to make sure that when you're thinking of travertine care that your grout is good too because grout helps to strengthen as well as protect the stone. Each and every day, you have the weight of an adult or two, plus maybe some kids as well. If there is sufficient grout under the tile this isn't a problem. However, if the grout's damaged, then sooner or later you're going to hear a sound that you don't want to hear, namely, the sound of a travertine tile cracking. A cracked tile can sometimes be repaired, but most of the time, you end up having to replace it. That's why you want grout cleaning and care done on your travertine. A service that does both stone and grout is the best one to pick as that way everything is done all in one visit.
Travertine Cleaning: Call a Pro
A travertine cleaning professional knows the difference between slate, marble, travertine, limestone, granite, or whatever other type of stone you have in your home and/or office, and more importantly knows what can and can't be done to each of the stones in question. Travertine is a fairly hard stone, but it is surprisingly vulnerable to anything acidic.
So remember, it is easier to clean something than replace it. With that in mind, make sure you get a stone cleaning service in to clean and protect your travertine.
