Scratch

Travertine is one kind of limestone, a soft stone, so it is easy to be scratched. When cutting, put on a chopping block to prevent travertine countertops from be scratched. Also put cushions on travertine countertops under the utensils to reduce potential scratches.



Dyeing

Travertine is the same as limestone that belong to porous countertop materials, and therefore extremely easy to staining. Before installing, use penetrating sealant to seal, which helps prevent staining. Put pad cushions, trays on travertine countertops under drinking implement. Remove stains (fruit juice, wine, oil, cream, cosmetics and water stains) in time. We suggest that you periodically seal it to prevent staining.



Corrosion

Travertine, the same as marble and other calcareous stone, is weak acid. Therefore also need to avoid acidic materials, not to touch with lemon or tomato juice. These will erode the surface of travertine, making it dim and changing texture fuzzy. However, do not worry, timely clear the stain, use the correct cleaning agents can avoid those problems.



Burn

Travertine likes limestone and marble, can also be burned. So should avoid placing hot containers directly to the travertine countertops, you can use a tripod or a cushion to protect the travertine countertops surface.
