Snow White Travertine Cleaning & Maintenance

Article Number: 462 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Thu, Sep 13, 2007 at 12:00 AM

I have received a new product to sell called snow white travertine it is as white as chalk and I am sure as porous. One of my customers just loves it and insists on putting it in her shower and bathroom floor. I need advice to give her for cleaning and maintenance of this stone. I welcome recommendations of one of your products

Dear Bob:

You're 100% right: that stuff is total garbage and your customer will only have aggravations out of that stuff.

But you know how it is with certain people, right?... :-)

So, despite the fact that I always recommend not to seal with an impregnator stone set in wet environment, in this particular case it would be almost mandatory, as the lesser of thre two evils!
