Clean Travertine with a soft cloth or mop and a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Avoid vinegar, lemon-based products, bleach and abrasive cleaners, as these may damage or etch the surface.
Periodic sealing is generally recommended, particularly in wet areas, kitchens and high-traffic spaces. Spills should be removed promptly to reduce the risk of staining.
Professional stone installation is recommended.
Dry-lay pieces before installation to coordinate variation.
Confirm whether the stone will be installed filled or unfilled.
Use adhesives and grout suitable for porous natural stone.
Confirm sealing requirements before and after installation.
Allow additional material for cuts and natural variation.

Travertine is a natural and durable material with the potential for a long service life. Quarrying, processing and transportation contribute to its environmental impact. Locally sourced stone, responsible suppliers, efficient cutting and reclaimed Travertine can help reduce this impact.
