Travertine and Limestone Cleaning in Delhi NCR
The holes and pits in travertine hold dirt that a mop cannot lift. Cleaning has to reach into the texture, and any polishing afterwards is done as a light hone so the stone keeps its natural look. Delhi NCR mixes very old housing stock with new high-rise towers, so a single visit can mean Kota stone in one room and Italian marble in the next. We carry pads for both and quote each surface on its own merit.

Travertine Honing And Polishing - common questions
Why is acid so damaging to travertine?
Travertine and limestone are calcium-based. Acid dissolves the surface binder, which leaves white etch marks and opens the texture, and the damage is permanent unless the surface is honed back.
Will cleaning remove dirt from the pits?
Yes, with the right brushes and neutral cleaner, but the pits will refill over time. Filling open pits at the same visit is the practical fix.
Can travertine be polished to a shine?
It can be honed or lightly polished, but a mirror finish on soft, pitted stone is neither natural nor durable. We usually recommend a honed finish with sealer.
How often should it be sealed?
Every twelve to twenty-four months for floors, and more often in wet areas. Sealer slows absorption rather than blocking it.
