Final step of sealing the floors today. It only takes about 30-45 minutes to dry. We finally have a floor we can walk on! Now I can finally get to the fridge again. Left over Halloween candy, I'm coming for you.
The installer told me that we need to seal the floors twice a year instead on once. And, we can clean with a mixture of vinegar and water (1 cup to 2 gallons). But, it will likely take some of the sealer off over time. He says the best product to use is Everyday Tile Cleaner from any big box home improvement store. Travertine is the most porous of tile. And it will chip and break easily. To be honest, had I known how difficult travertine was to install and maintain, I might not have chosen it. But it is so beautiful.
beautiful floor, even though it may require a little extra work, I would have chosen the same mama
