How to Naturally Clean a Travertine Tile Shower

A travertine tile shower can make an attractive addition to any bathroom, but can be somewhat tricky to clean without the proper tools. Fortunately, with a few natural cleaning products, you can make your travertine tile shower sparkle like new in no time.

What you'll need


Step 1 - Produce your Travetine-Safe Cleaning Solution

Before the cleaning can commence, you'll need to take a few moments to produce a natural, travertine-safe cleaning solution. Begin by combining an all-natural liquid soap with warm water in a clean empty spray bottle. Follow up by securely sealing the bottle and shaking it until your newly formed cleaner begins to sud.

Step 2 - Apply Your Cleaning Solution

Now that your cleaning solution has taken shape, use your shower-head to give your travertine tile shower a thorough water rinsing before proceeding to dry it with a clean cloth. Next, apply your homemade cleaning solution to the area you wish to clean and wipe it down with a sponge or washcloth using broad circular motions.

Step 3 - Rinse Your Shower

Once your shower has been successfully cleaned, use your shower-head to rinse away any remaining traces of your cleaning solution. Any caked-on soap stands to lead to the formation of mold and/mildew, so take care to be thorough when performing this step.
