How to clean the grout in a travertine floor

How to clean the grout in a travertine floor

Travertine is a durable floor choice used in floors in many homes and commercial buildings. The travertine is trimmed with cement grout, which gives a general appearance to the surface of the floor. Grout itself is easy to clean, but when you have travertine you will only need to use a cleaning solution that keeps both travertine and grout from fading. Chlorine bleach is a common cleaning agent, but it is a main culprit of discoloration so you should always avoid it for this cleaning task.

Instructions

1 fill a bucket with hot water.

2 Stone Cleaning spray, either on the grout, or spray a light coat of soap to wash dishes on the grout.

3 Dip either a nylon brush or a toothbrush in the water and rub it on the grout. Using the toothbrush is best if you have thin grout lines.

4 Continue until all grout is cleaned. Both the soap stone and dishwashing soap are safe for the travertine tile, so don't worry when the cleaning solution makes contact with the travertine.

5 Rinse a mop with clean water. Twist the mop and clean over the entire floor to collect excess cleaning solution. Let the travertine and the dry air grout.
