Caring for travertine
Travertine is a natural limestone popular around pools. It is porous and soft, so it stains easily and is damaged by acidic cleaners. Gentle cleaning and a breathable sealer keep it looking good.
Avoid: Acidic cleaners (including vinegar) and high pressure, which pit the stone and open its pores.
How often: Clean yearly; reseal every 2-3 years.
