Instructions for cleaning, sealing and polishing travertine:
Stage 1 – Cleaning Travertine with Deterdek
You will need gloves, a bucket, a stiff broom and clean rag, and a mop and bucket.
Pre-wet the surface with water, and use the broom to spread it evenly.
Dilute Deterdek 1:5 in water.
Spread the diluted Deterdek over a few metres of the surface at a time, wait 2-3 minutes, and then agitate with the broom.
Wipe up the residue with a clean rag or mop.
Rinse with plenty of water.
* Do not use on acid-sensitive surfaces
* Test a small area first to verify acid resistance
Stage 2 – Sealing Travertine for Stain Protection with FilaFOB
You will need a paintbrush and bowl.
Make sure the surface is clean and dry.
Use the paintbrush to apply a coat of FilaFOB to the surface, ensuring it is well-soaked and evenly covered.
Wait 24 hours before completing the treatment with a wax finish
* Test the product on a small area first to check for any colour changes.
Stage 3 – Polishing Travertine with natural-effect finish with FilaMatt
You will need a bucket, and a lambswool mop.
Make sure the surface is clean and dry.
Dilute FilaMatt with 1 cup of water per litre of product.
Apply an even coat of FilaMatt with the lambswool mop.
After 1 hour, apply a second coat at right angles to the first.
You can walk on the floors after about 1 hour.
If you want a higher level of gloss, buff with a polisher or a woollen cloth.
