Travertine tiles are a popular building material used in bathroom areas as flooring options, shower enclosures and countertop backsplashes. The travertine is similar to other stones like marble and granite, but it is a bit softer and requires a bit more care to maintain. When cleaning the travertine tiles, a low-cost cleaning routine combined with care that keeps improper items off of the travertine tile ensures the surface of the travertine in your bathroom remains clean and attractive.

1
Wipe the travertine tiles with a damp cloth on a daily basis, or as needed to reduce soap scum and dirt buildup.

2
Spray a stone cleaner onto the travertine tile, using one that is labeled safe for travertine.

3
Wipe off the stone cleaner with a damp cloth.

4
Add a few drops of dish soap to a damp cloth when the stone cleaner alone is not removing the buildup, and wipe over the travertine tiles.

5
Wipe the travertine with a damp cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
