Travertine Cleaning And Sealing Project In Ipswich Suffolk

Last Updated on January 13, 2026 by David

A honed Travertine floor in Ipswich. The Travertine suffered from ingrained soil in the tiles, the grout and collapsed holes.

The homeowner had tried a number of times to clean the floor, but could not emove the ingrained soil.

I deep cleaned the Travertine using a rotary scrubbing machine and Travertine cleaners.

Then pressure-rinsed the floor to help remove soil that the scrubbing machine could not remove.

I filled the holes with a strong, colour matched grout. I left the floor overnight for the floor and the grout to dry. I sealed the Travertine with several layers of film-forming sealer.

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