Travertine Cleaning, Polishing, Sealing and Repair Across the Valley

Earthy elegance with timeless appeal. Travertine brings natural texture and warmth to any space, indoors or out, and it is the stone we clean, polish, and seal most often across the Valley.

Stone Overview

Travertine is a form of limestone deposited by mineral springs, prized for its porous texture and distinctive, earthy tones. Often used in flooring, showers, patios, and countertops, it delivers a classic look with a rustic touch.

Travertine Problems We Fix Across the Phoenix Valley

Travertine is the stone we restore most across the Valley, on floors, showers, and patios. It is porous, calcium-based, and full of natural voids, which is why the same five problems keep showing up.

Pits and holes opening up. Travertine forms with natural voids. Factory fill pops out over time and leaves open holes that catch dirt and chip further at the edges.
Dull, worn paths on honed floors. Grit tracked in from outside wears the finish off entries, kitchens, and the routes between them, so the floor looks patchy.
Soil ground into the texture and grout lines. A porous, textured surface holds dirt that mopping spreads around instead of lifting, and light grout darkens first.
Etch marks from acids. Like marble and limestone, travertine is calcium-based. Wine, citrus, and acidic cleaners leave dull spots that no cleaner removes.
Outdoor travertine faded and slick. Sun and pool water leave patio and pool-deck travertine chalky, and a smooth finish gets slippery when wet.

How We Restore Travertine Floors, Showers, and Patios

Travertine restoration is a sequence, not a single treatment. Your free in-home estimate covers the whole property, patios included, and tells you which steps your stone actually needs.

Assess and test. We check the finish, map worn areas and open holes, and drop water on the surface to see whether the sealer is still working.
Deep clean. Travertine tile cleaning lifts embedded soil out of the pores and grout lines with pH-neutral, professional-grade products, without the acids that etch the stone.
Fill. Open holes and pits are filled with specialized fillers matched to the stone's color, then leveled so the surface reads as one piece again.
Hone. Honing evens out wear patterns and etching and leaves the matte, natural look most travertine owners want.
Polish. Where a little more light is wanted, travertine polishes to a soft sheen rather than a mirror finish.
Seal and protect. A penetrating sealer protects against staining and moisture indoors and out. Patios and pool decks can also take a color-enhancing sealer or an anti-slip treatment.

The same sequence restores travertine shower walls and floors, and outdoor travertine pavers and pool surrounds get it with outdoor products.

Travertine Care Between Professional Visits

Travertine is durable and easy to maintain once it is sealed. These habits keep it that way.

Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Nothing acidic, nothing abrasive, and no vinegar or citrus products on the floor.
Blot spills as they happen, especially wine, citrus, and coffee, instead of wiping them across the stone.
Watch how water behaves on the surface. If it soaks in and darkens the travertine instead of beading, the sealer is due.
Sweep grit off indoor floors and hose down patio travertine before it grinds in.

Voices of Satisfaction

Stone Care of Arizona did an awesome job rejuvenating our travertine floors. They provided a professional estimate with many options and the crew that did the work was awesome. The floors look great and they made the grout look like new. We will use them every time in the future to keep these stone floors looking great. Thanks for the work!
Jason Gmeiner
Wow!  One of the best companies we have worked with.  Our limestone floors look incredible.  Showed up on time, great people, and the project turned out exceptional.  Michael the owner is first class and actually works on the job, not typical in the trades.  So not your sell it and then send an inexperienced crew to do it.  I wasn’t surprised when I went to do a review and saw they had 121 5 star Google reviews.  Also educated us on how to keep them maintained. Only one choice for our future needs, Stone Care of Arizona!
Nick Hoffman

It was an honor meeting Michael Morrow with Stone Care of Arizona, Arizona Stone Care Experts. Michael came out to refurbish our fireplace as it had a few nicks and damage to the existing stones. He brought our fireplace back to life with his incredible craftsmanship! We would highly recommend this company due to their professionalism, craftsmanship & incredible customer care. Thank you again Michael for helping us out!
Maggie Statzer
We used Stone Care of AZ to clean, hone and refinish our marble tile floor, as well as paint and seal the dingy grout. They exceeded our expectations. The owner Michael was professional, responsive and extremely knowledgeable. Andre and Josh were great as well. When Andre said they wanted us to be 100% satisfied it wasn’t just lip service.  My only regret is we didn’t use them years ago. Thanks guys!

Stone Care of Arizona cleaned and applied a coating to our Saltillo tile floors. Josh and Mario did a fantastic job and were neat, courteous and professional. We had some issues with the grout (which was not included in the original scope of work) but Michael, the owner, came out two times to resolve them to our complete satisfaction -- he really went above and beyond. After 40+ years as the owner of a remodeling company, I appreciate this level of service which today is all too rare.

Travertine FAQS

Have questions? We’ve got answers. Learn more about our process, services, and what to expect when you work with Arizona’s leading stone and surface care experts.

Travertine is one of the stones we see most, and we keep local pages for Scottsdale, Cave Creek, and Paradise Valley travertine restoration. For day-to-day care between visits, read how to care for travertine floors in Arizona homes.

Does travertine require more maintenance than other stones?

What finish options do you offer for travertine?

Can you fix holes or pits in my travertine floor?

Why do holes keep appearing in my travertine floor?

Travertine forms with natural voids. The factory fill wears out over time, and foot traffic opens the holes further. We refill them with color-matched fillers, level the surface, and hone and seal the floor so the repair blends in.

Can travertine be polished, or only honed?

Both. Honing gives travertine a matte, natural look, and polishing brings it to a soft sheen rather than a mirror finish. We will help you choose based on your style, foot traffic, and how much maintenance you want.

How do you clean travertine tile and grout?

With pH-neutral, professional-grade cleaning that lifts soil out of the pores and the grout lines rather than off the top only. Acidic cleaners are never used on travertine because they etch it. Once the floor is clean and dry, it is sealed to slow the next buildup.

Do you restore outdoor travertine pavers and pool decks?

Yes. Outdoor travertine gets cleaned, refilled, and sealed with outdoor products, and faded stone can take a color-enhancing sealer that brings back the wet look. Slick pool surrounds can be treated for traction at the same visit.
