Removing Stains from travertine Long Gully - Bendigo

As always, prevention is better than finding a cure. If you have sealed your travertine, you should be able to easily wipe away any potential stain, provided it hasn't been left too long.

It is crucial in Long Gully to NEVER use anything acidic, such as vinegar or citrus, as it can etch or corrode your travertine.

If you encounter a potential stain, you can try the following solutions for travertine:

Utilize a commercial poultice product for travertine in Long Gully.

A poultice typically consists of a blend of ground chalk (whiting) and hydrogen peroxide, which can be obtained from hardware stores in Long Gully. Some variations may utilize a different chemical instead of hydrogen peroxide. Follow the instructions provided with the product as a general guide when applying it to travertine in Long Gully.

• Wet the poultice with distilled water.
• Apply the poultice to the stain or stained area.
• Leave it in situ for 48 hours to enable drying and absorption into the travertine.
• Rinse off the poultice. The stain should have disappeared.
• Reseal the area with a penetrating sealer

Since travertine is calcium-based, acidic substances like vinegar and lemon juice should never be used.

When using any cleaning product on travertine in Long Gully, ensure it is pH neutral.

Due to the calcium content in travertine and its porous nature, using acidic or harsh cleaners may scratch and damage the surface.

How to Clean Travertine Floors:

• Mix warm water and a pH neutral floor cleaner in a bucket
• Add 1 cup of cornflour to the mixture.
• Stir vigorously.
• Use this mixture to mop the floor.

The cornflour aids in removing marks and stains from travertine in Long Gully as it helps draw out substances from the porous stone.

If the above techniques fail to achieve the desired results, consider contacting a professional cleaning company in Long Gully equipped with the appropriate equipment and solutions for travertine.
