Travertine tile

I have travertine or Mexican paver in my bathroom. It has a slight gloss, not sure if it was sealed 15 years ago. Just spilled bath oil and have a 3" diameter stain.. HELP!!! Is there any way to remove the spot without taking out the tile? Thanks, Nancy
 
Dear Nancy:
 
" Is there any way to remove the spot without taking out the tile?"
 
If you stain a dress or a shirt you have to take it off to bring it to the cleaners.
Luckily, you don't have to do that with a stone tile!! :-)
Removing stains from stone is child-play, when you know how.

When it comes to stain removal, either you buy one of those expensive “Professional kits” (that true professionals seldom use!) at a stone retailer near you, or you can spend less money and get our comprehensive guidelines on how to remove stains by using inexpensive and far more effective means that you may already have in your household! Such impressive piece of literature will also tell you how to tell stains apart from “stains”, and what to do about the latter! It does carry a small price tag, and you can order it by logging on at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/literature.htm.   It's available in pay-per-download format and it's much cheaper than any kit on the market! Not to mention the little and much needed support you'd be giving to the cause – your cause - since every single penny of the cost of the article will be used to support it.

Also, will you please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose by logging on at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/purpose.htm? By spreading the word about this valuable site among your friend & family and the stone trades' people you've been dealing with, you will be rendering everybody a valuable service!

Ciao and good luck,
