We bought a new home with travertine in our kitchen and den area. It is not shiny. How do I care for it and does it need a sealer?

 

Dear Dixie :

 

“ does it need a sealer? ”

 

Considering that's hone-finished and that it is installed in a kitchen and den, the application of a good-quality stone impregnator like MB-4 would be a good bet.

As for the routine care, which – as it should be intuitive – is vastly more important than the sealing, by logging into the Helpful Hints section of our website at:   http://www.mbstone.com/HH_promo/helpful_hints.htm, you will be able to get the short version of our maintenance guidelines at no charge. The full version of it – a 7-page document considered by many as an industry benchmark – is available in pay-per-download format in our Educational Literature section at:   http://www.mbstone.com/literature/literature.htm.
