Thank you very much for posting your experience. I have a travertine floor in the house we just bought, and I have no idea how to clean it.

In reply to Tulsi Vadodaria. You can buy a sealer to use after you clean them.

Thanks so much for this article and breakdown.WE have a huge kitchen with these type of tiles and I paid over $800 last time for someone to clean it. I can’t do this every year! How do you seal the tiles?

I have been goggling and amazoning looking for a solution to our very dirty grout. I somehow found your blog and we have this Oreck machine!! I ordered the natural brush you used. Onward, thank you

In reply to Dana. It really is a game changer when it comes to cleaning travertine tile. You might want to consider sealing it when you're done to keep the dirt and grime from getting back into all of those pores quite as easily.

So happy I found this! Thank you for sharing! I have the same tile and was about ready to have it all ripped out at considerable cost. But before I did that, just thought I would try to find some other way of cleaning other than getting on my hands and knees and scrubbing again. I am ordering one of these today. Fingers crossed.

Thank you! I just got the Orbiter in the mail yesterday. I’m going to start with a good scrub. I’m oddly excited…
Do you use any other kind of mopping in between scrubbing with the Orbiter?

In reply to Jennifer Cutright. Every day cleaning, I use some of the Bona multi-surface products or the Libman ones. They're still such tricky floors - not what I would choose myself!! But the Oreck Orbiter is a game changer!

Jenny, thank you for this article! I just moved into a home with travertine floors… It’s very new to me and I need to deep clean and restore them. Searching the internet leaves me with hundreds of vague articles and always ends with a recommendation/ad for a professional cleaning service.
I’m so excited to restore my floors on my own now. Thank you again!
Can I ask what you use to do everyday cleaning in between?
