Travertine Cleaning And Sealing Project In Keswick Cumbria

Last Updated on January 13, 2026 by David

This Travertine floor in Keswick had a lot of grout residue. The grout residue made the surface of the Travertine look dull. It also attracted soil.

My client was looking for the Travertine to have a nice sheen with no grout residue.

I applied a non-acidic chemical grout treatment to soften the polymer in the grout, making it easier to remove. I removed the grout using a rotary scrubbing machine and a scrubbing pad. The client anted a high-sheen finish. So I diamond-honed the floor to a nice sheen.

Finally, I applied several coats of impregnating sealer.

This project is one of many examples referenced in our guide to Travertine flooring care and restoration, which explains how Travertine behaves in real homes and why particular issues develop over time.

If you need help with a Travertine or any other kind of stone floor in or around Keswick, drop me a line, I’ll be delighted to help you.
