    Just about any white thinset will hang on to travertine just fine, you want to add acrylic admixture if the thinset does not come with it. You might consider the premixed stuff sold at home centers, it comes in white with admix in it and is very fast and easy to use.

    As marble is easily dissolved by acids, it is advisable not to use acid cleaners on marble.

    Marble is acid resistant but not acid proof – the top layer can be gradually dissolved by acids and expose the marble underneath and cause a lot of damage.

    Natural Formula to Use:
    A mixture of baking soda and warm water

    Method to Use:
    1. Make up the mixture of water and baking soda

    2. Scrub stains with a soft brush or sponge

    3. Rinse thoroughly with water to remove all residue

    Tip:
    When scrubbing the stains be careful to rub gently as once the marble has been scratched it easily picks up any grease, dirt or soap residue.

  • What’s the best product to clean up a marble shower?
    Make up a baking soda paste and mildly scrub. .

    If its a heavy duty cleaning job, scrub and let the paste set om the marble but do mot let it dry, cover and keep damp.
    DO NOT use a vinegar that some people might suggest, it may etch marble.
    Barring that, then go to your OTC marble and stone cleaners. GL

    I am a tile setter.

    “Miracle 511 Impregnator” is an excellent sealer.
    I recently used travertine for my kitchen counter tops and sealed it with this product.
    It is a bit pricey but well worth it.

    It comes in various sizes .

    A quart will cover 250-1000 sq ft. Depending on the type of tile your trying to cover.
    The container is blue with a yellow lid.

    Hope this helps

    Use Dupont Stonetech Bulletproof Sealer, if you do not want to change the look of the tile. Apply at least two coats. If a heavy traffic area, apply three coats.

    You will need to reseal in 2-3 years if not a high traffic area. If high traffic area, you will need to reseal in 1-2 years.

    Down the road, you will know by testing a little area by dropping just a little water on it. If it beads up and sets there for a moment or two, it won’t need to be resealed just yet. If the water immediately absorbs into the tile, then it needs to be resealed.
