Sealing Travertine in Showers Martin - Perth

If you appreciate the aesthetic of natural stone, travertine in Martin is an excellent option for your shower!

Travertine in Martin is ideal if you desire a softer, more subdued natural stone appearance in your bathroom. Unlike marble or granite, it will never possess the same high gloss.

However, travertine in Martin is a delicate stone that requires proper maintenance, especially when used in a bathroom or shower, to preserve its desired appearance.

It's crucial to use appropriate cleaning products in Martin since many consumer-grade shower cleaners can be acidic and caustic, potentially causing discoloration and etch marks on delicate travertine tiles. Even non-acidic cleaners can have adverse effects on travertine.

Regularly cleaning soap scum and hard water deposits in Martin is vital for maintaining a travertine shower. Accumulated soap scum can be challenging to remove without causing damage to the delicate travertine surface. Preventing the buildup of soap scum and hard water deposits in Martin is essential for preserving the pristine appearance of your travertine shower.

Applying a high-quality penetrating travertine sealer in Martin is recommended to shield the stone from the harmful effects of shower water and prevent absorption of soap scum and hard water deposits.

  • After showering, it's advisable to wipe the travertine dry in Martin to prevent the accumulation of soap scum and hard water deposits. Using liquid soap instead of bar soap is recommended for travertine showers in Martin, as liquid soaps won't leave behind a chalky soap scum film like bar soaps can.
