cleaning travertine

[californiagirl]

hello! i'm darla. question....my husband just cleaned our travertine floor with ammonia. i'm thinking that wasn't such a great idea?!

That's o.k., as long as you don't have a wax on the floor that you want to stay on the floor.What you don't want to clean with is acidics,,,,,,ammonia is the opposite of them.

but darn it i hate it when he's right.

Even so, you don't want to make a habit of using harsh cleaners on your travertine. Get yourself a good quality stone cleaner and use that for regular maintenance.
