Travertine Tiled Floor in Gerrards Cross

I received a phone call a few weeks ago from a lady in Gerrards Cross which requested me to come and clean her large Travertine tiled floors prior to her renting out a property. I had actually carried out this job for her four years ago and she was really pleased with the service we provided and had therefore asked me come back again. Thinking back four years is a long time between floor polishes so we certainly did a good job on the floor the first time.

Maintaining Travertine Tiles

Travertine is a very sturdy stone which required the surface to be cut back before polishing, to do this we make use of a diamond encrusted burnishing pad system which is supplied in a set of four pads each one having a different purpose. We started with a Red pad first together with a little water and this strips dirt and old sealers from the floor, this is followed with the White, Yellow and finally Green pad which doesn't required the use of any water. As you progress through the pads you find the polish is restored and you get a deep shine in the surface of the tile.

Sealing Travertine Tile

In order to protect the floor from stains it was sealed with a single coat of Tile Doctor Color Grow which is a color enhancing sealer that brings out the colors in natural stone. Once the sealer was dry it was buffed using a white buffing pad to make sure that I didn’t leave any residues from the seal.

Once again the lady was really pleased with our work and promised to call the next time the property was to be let out again, but next time she wants me to do the carpets and the patio areas as well.
