Travertine & Marble Maintenance
Travertine and marble are among the most beautiful — and most sensitive — flooring materials available. The wrong cleaner can cause permanent etching or dulling. We use gentle, pH-neutral professional methods to clean and maintain luxury stone without causing damage. Serving McKinney, Plano, Frisco, and surrounding areas.
Why Travertine & Marble Needs Specialist Care
Marble and travertine are calcium-based stones — which makes them chemically reactive to acids. Common household cleaners, even diluted vinegar, can etch the surface and permanently dull the finish. Steam and excessive moisture can open the pores and drive in stains.
Travertine has natural voids that collect dirt and bacteria. Marble's polished surface shows water spots, etching, and scratches more than most surfaces. Professional maintenance preserves the investment you've made in these beautiful materials.
We use only stone-certified, pH-neutral solutions with appropriate gentle agitation — protecting the finish while delivering a thorough deep clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can acidic cleaners damage travertine and marble?
Yes — vinegar, lemon juice, and many common household cleaners are acidic enough to etch marble and travertine surfaces permanently. We only use pH-neutral stone-safe solutions.
What causes the dull spots on marble floors?
Etching from acidic cleaners or spills is the most common cause. Foot traffic can also dull a polished finish over time. Professional cleaning and honing can restore the surface.
Can you fill the holes in travertine floors?
Yes. Travertine is naturally porous with voids. We can fill these with color-matched grout or filler as part of a restoration service.
How do you prevent damage to marble during cleaning?
We use only pH-neutral solutions formulated for marble, controlled water pressure, and soft pads — never abrasive tools that could scratch the surface.
How often should travertine and marble be professionally maintained?
Polished marble benefits from professional care every 1–2 years. Travertine, depending on traffic and porosity, typically benefits from annual cleaning.
