Revive and Protect Your Floors: Expert Travertine Cleaning, Polishing, and Sealing in Southwest Florida
Travertine floors are the epitome of timeless elegance. Whether you’re walking barefoot through your Naples kitchen, hosting family in your Fort Myers living room, or enjoying the cool touch of stone in your Cape Coral entryway, travertine delivers unmatched beauty and luxury.
But like all natural stones, travertine requires maintenance to preserve its look and prevent long-term damage. That’s where Tru-Clean Surface Care steps in—with professional travertine floor cleaning, polishing, and sealing services trusted throughout Lee, Collier, and Charlotte Counties.
Why Travertine is a Popular Flooring Choice in SW Florida
Travertine, a form of limestone formed in natural springs, is known for its creamy, earthy tones and distinctive porous texture. Its versatility, slip resistance, and natural beauty make it a top pick for both indoor and outdoor spaces in Florida homes.
From beachside condos in Marco Island to sprawling homes in Bonita Springs, travertine flooring fits perfectly into our tropical lifestyle. It stays cool underfoot and pairs effortlessly with Mediterranean and coastal aesthetics.
But Florida’s climate also poses challenges—humidity, sand, spills, and constant foot traffic can quickly wear down even the most beautiful travertine floors without proper care.
Why Travertine Floors Need Routine Maintenance
Travertine may be beautiful, but it’s also highly porous and reactive.
Because travertine is composed primarily of calcium carbonate, it’s naturally susceptible to:
- Etching from acidic spills (like wine, juice, vinegar, or even citrus-based cleaners)
- Staining from liquids that seep into the stone’s pores
- Discoloration caused by dirt buildup and water absorption
- Surface damage from everyday wear-and-tear or unsealed grout
Without routine cleaning, polishing, and sealing, travertine loses its luster and charm—turning dull, dirty, and worn. Fortunately, proper care can reverse and prevent this damage.

Our Proven Process for Travertine Floor Cleaning, Polishing & Sealing
At Tru-Clean Surface Care, we’ve perfected a multi-step process to clean, restore, and protect your travertine floors.
Step 1: Inspection and Surface Prep
We start with a comprehensive inspection of your flooring to evaluate its current condition. We identify:
- Stains
- High-traffic wear
- Surface etching
- Grout damage
- Areas requiring extra attention
We then protect adjacent surfaces, baseboards, and furniture to ensure a safe, mess-free cleaning experience.
Step 2: Deep Pore Cleaning
Our team uses professional-grade, allergen-free stone cleaners specifically formulated for travertine. These solutions dissolve embedded dirt, grime, sticky residues, and biological contaminants (like mold or mildew) without damaging the stone’s surface.
We also employ state-of-the-art equipment and pressurized steam technology to clean deep inside the stone’s pores, something regular mopping simply cannot do.
Step 3: Honing and Polishing
Depending on your preferences, we can restore your floor to a:
- Matte Finish – Subtle and natural with minimal reflectivity
- Semi-Gloss Finish – Soft, satiny appearance with slight sheen
- High-Gloss Finish – Polished, mirror-like shine that highlights the stone’s colors
We carefully hone the surface to remove fine scratches and etches, then polish the stone to restore its smoothness and reflective qualities. This process not only beautifies your floors but also makes them easier to clean in the future.
Step 4: Professional Sealing
Once cleaned and polished, we apply a high-quality penetrating stone sealer to your travertine floors. This sealant creates an invisible protective barrier that:
- Blocks stains from spills
- Reduces water absorption
- Guards against etching and grime buildup
- Extends the time between professional cleanings
Our sealers are safe for pets and infants, odor-free, and long-lasting.
What About the Holes in Travertine?
Travertine naturally forms with open holes due to the way water flows through it during formation. Depending on your style preference, you may opt for:
- Unfilled Travertine – A more rustic, old-world look, often used in dry areas or on walls
- Filled Travertine – Factory-filled holes for a smoother finish, ideal for flooring
At Tru-Clean Surface Care, we can professionally refill these holes with color-matched materials that seamlessly blend with your existing stone if your preference steers away from the rustic, natural look. We restore both the appearance and functionality of your travertine flooring.
