Practical Tips for Daily Care

Routine Cleaning Tips: For everyday maintenance, we recommend sweeping and mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner to prevent wear and preserve the finish.
Avoid Acidic Products: Travertine is sensitive to acids, so it’s important to use non-acidic products to avoid etching or damage to the sealant.
Annual Seal Checks: To keep your travertine protected, periodic resealing is advised, especially in high-traffic areas or places exposed to moisture.

Limestone Polishing, London, Finchley

We had a great experience with Silver Lining Floor Care Company. First of all, they came to see me the same day I contacted them to show how the floor sanding would work and also apply a couple of coloured varnishes to appreciate what the final effect would look like. Once selected, they have shared the most professional quote I have seen in my life, with a clear Video explanation that takes you through the quote line by line. Additionally, they have great customer care - they are always available over the phone, whatsapp and email to really address any query you have. Cherry on the cake, they have delivered a very good job, respecting their promise. I would highly recommend.

First time using Silver Lining. Absolutely excellent job done cleaning our lounge rugs and carpets, and also our whole hallway and stairs by their cleaner Mick using a truck-mounted cleaning system. Will definitely be using them in the future.

Simon Rossi

Carpet Cleaning, London, Hither Green

Super results, pleasant and professional workers, constructive and flexible process. Big thank you to the team! Got the floor of one room, which was very worn and damaged, sanded down, re-stained and lacquered. Particular challenge was trying to match the rest of the flat's flooring, which I didn't know what products had been used on it. The team was super engaged in trying to work this problem, and the results were fantastic.

Silver Lining Floor Care did an outstanding job sanding and oiling the floors in my new flat. They successfully removed all stains and scratches, leaving the floor looking brand new. The team was very professional throughout the process, providing a detailed quote before starting and offering various options to suit my needs. Their expertise and attention to detail really stood out. I couldn’t be happier with the results, and I feel like I got great value for money. If you're looking for reliable, high-quality floor care, I highly recommend Silver Lining Floor Care!

Wood Floor Sanding & Oiling, London, Bermondsey

Johnny and the team were very professional. We had lots of calls to discuss reconditioning our Reclamed Burmese teak parquet floor. We planned the dates for when we went away on holiday. His team were trustworthy reliable with great communication! when we came back from holiday the floor was completed and the treatment is holding up well two months later, much better than the original treatment which was a hard wax oil that only lasted 2 years! it was applied by general builders with no expertise in wood floor treatments. This time we went with a lacquer with hardener, we have a big Labrador dog and we still have no visible scratches on the surface and we look forward to seeing how it holds up with the test of time!

Wood Floor Sanding & Oiling, London, Wandsworth

Silver Lining Floor Care conducted some Victorian Tile restoration and cleaning for me. A day after the initial visit some white residue came to the surface due to moisture in the air. On calling Silver Lining Floor Care to tell them this they returned and rectified immediately. An excellent job and will be using again. I can recommend.

O Bidder

Victorian Tiles Restoration, London, Kensigton

Silver Lining Floor Care refinished our existing floorbaords and installed new engineered oak in the remainder of our flat. They are an extremely professional and efficient business to work with. Johnny was very responsive throughout the scoping and quoting process and recommended an engineered oak floorboard that was both higher quality and cheaper than the boards I'd been looking at. Peter first leveled our floors before installing the new boards to ensure a very professional fit. He was easy to communicate with and sent photos throughout the installation as we were not around to see it in person. We have worked with lots of contractors for the renovation of our flat and been dismayed at how so many companies leave the property in a total mess. Silver Lining Floor Care have been the only company to take good care of the property and leave it in perfect condition. Very happy with the finished product and would definitely recommend them.

Lisa Fox

Wood Floor Fitting, Sanding & Oiling, London, Clapham Common

Johnny, Peter and Milosz did a great job on our floors. The quote was provided promptly and we were kept informed at all times of appointments and next steps. When the carpet was taken up prior to work, this showed that some floorboards needed to be repaired. Milosz did a very thorough job in repairing these, removing gaps, strengthening the existing boards and taking a great deal of care to make the floor look as good as possible. I would recommend Silver Lining Floor Care.

Johnny and his team has been very reliable. Great work. I was touched to learn about Johnny's story and his journey in the floorcare industry. Yes they are perhaps not the cheapest company but by far the best one to choose if you want a good job done. Love the fact they use the Pallmann range of products - Great reliable Quality

Robert Hurst

Wood Floor Sanding & Fishing with Raw Wood Effect Lacquer

We had new doors on the back of the house which meant we needed the floor lifted and taken to a new border point. Small job but as time consuming as a new floor. Team were amazing and cut out the old boards and put in the new ones so everything fitted flush with a great trim border they made out of a spare board. Really nice people, clean and tidy and would highly recommend.

The Appeal of Travertine Flooring

Travertine offers a sophisticated, timeless look that enhances both classic and modern interiors. Its soft, earthy tones and natural patterns bring warmth and texture to any space — from bathrooms to kitchens and open-plan living areas. However, its porous nature means that dirt, moisture, and even mild cleaning agents can penetrate the surface if left untreated. That’s why regular care is essential. At Silver Lining Floor Care, we offer professional travertine cleaning, sealing, and restoration in London, designed to preserve the beauty of this luxurious natural stone.

With years of experience working with stone, wood, hard floors, and carpeted floors, we bring a deep understanding of surface behaviour. This allows us to think outside the box and tailor the right solution for your travertine floors — even in challenging conditions.

Our Deep Cleaning and Stain Removal Approach

Travertine’s open pores can easily trap dirt, grime, and bacteria, which over time leads to dullness, discolouration, and surface etching. Our restoration process begins with a pH-neutral, eco-friendly cleaner, specially formulated to lift embedded contaminants without affecting the integrity of the stone. Unlike harsh or acidic products that can do more harm than good, our cleaning method is gentle, effective, and safe for use on travertine.

Where needed, we can also carry out targeted stain removal, including oil-based or organic stains — something not all stone floor cleaning companies in London are trained to do. The result is a refreshed, polished surface that reflects the stone’s natural colour variation and texture.

If your floor requires more than a clean — for example, if there are dull patches, scratches, or holes — we can combine our cleaning with travertine floor restoration services, including minor repairs and re-polishing.

Importance of Sealing for Lasting Protection

Sealing travertine is not optional — it’s essential. As a highly porous natural stone, travertine will absorb water, oil, and dirt if left unsealed, making it highly vulnerable to staining and etching. After a professional clean, we apply a premium penetrating sealer that creates a breathable, invisible barrier on the surface. This barrier allows moisture vapour to escape while stopping liquids and dirt from getting in.

Our stone sealing process also enhances the depth and colour of the travertine, bringing out its natural veining and tonal variations without making it overly glossy or artificial. For homeowners looking for a matte, satin, or enhanced natural look, we’ll help you choose the right finish that suits both the stone and your lifestyle.

Eco-Friendly Maintenance for Travertine

Proper maintenance after cleaning and sealing is key to keeping your travertine floors looking great. We always recommend using a pH-neutral stone floor cleaner, avoiding anything acidic like vinegar, lemon juice, or bleach, which can break down the sealer and damage the stone. Avoid abrasive pads or powders as well — these may scratch or dull the surface.

To prevent wear and tear:

Use doormats and rugs in high-traffic zones
Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove fine grit
Wipe spills immediately with a damp, soft cloth

We also offer stone floor maintenance plans for commercial and high-traffic residential spaces, helping you extend the life of your floors through scheduled deep cleaning and resealing.

Travertine in Residential and Commercial Settings

Travertine is a popular choice not just for homes, but also for commercial spaces like hotels, lobbies, restaurants, and spas. Its soft look adds luxury, but without proper sealing and maintenance, it can become dull or damaged in high-use areas. We offer travertine cleaning for both residential and commercial clients in London, using tailored methods based on footfall, location, and stone finish.

If you manage a business or property, you can explore our full commercial floor restoration services, which cover not only stone but also wood floors, carpets, and hard floors.

Each of these stones has unique care requirements, and our knowledge of working across different materials gives us a professional edge when diagnosing issues, choosing the right tools, or applying the correct protection. To explore all services, visit our home page.

FAQs

What is travertine floor cleaning?

Travertine floor cleaning involves deep cleaning to remove dirt, grime, and stains from the porous surface while maintaining the natural look of the stone. In some cases, full stripping and resealing may be required to restore the travertine’s original finish and protect it from future damage.

How often should I clean my travertine floor?

Weekly maintenance is recommended, but professional deep cleaning and resealing should be done every 2-3 years to preserve the beauty and durability of the travertine.

Can you remove stains from travertine floors?

Yes, we can remove most stains, including those from oil, dirt, and spills. However, for deeper stains, grinding may sometimes be necessary. Please note that stain removal is never 100% guaranteed, but we do our best to achieve the best possible results.

Do you provide sealing for travertine floors?

Yes, we offer sealing services to protect your travertine floors. You can choose between a matte or gloss finish, and for wet rooms or bathrooms, we use solvent-based impregnators to protect against moisture.

How long does the travertine floor cleaning process take?

The time varies depending on the size and condition of the floor, but typically, cleaning and resealing can be completed in a day.

Is sealing necessary after cleaning travertine floors?

Yes, sealing is important to protect the porous travertine from moisture, stains, and wear, ensuring the longevity and appearance of the stone.

Will cleaning damage my travertine floor?

No, our cleaning methods are safe for travertine and won’t cause any damage. We use non-abrasive techniques to maintain the integrity of the stone.

How much does travertine floor cleaning cost?

The cost depends on the size and condition of the floor. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your specific needs.

Can I clean travertine floors myself?

Basic cleaning can be done at home, but professional cleaning ensures a deeper clean and proper sealing, which is hard to replicate with DIY methods. Regular DIY cleaning can help delay the need for deep professional cleaning.

What areas do you service for travertine floor cleaning?

We provide travertine cleaning services in the London area. Feel free to reach out to confirm if we cover your specific location.
