Grime, mildew and stains build up a little at a time until one day the outside of your property looks years older. Professional pool deck cleaning for travertine in Fayetteville, WV brings it back, usually in a single visit. With travertine, the right approach is low-pressure wash.
The right method for the job
Cleaning solution: A pH-neutral stone cleaner.
Cleaning travertine safely
Travertine is a natural limestone popular around pools. It is porous and soft, so it stains easily and is damaged by acidic cleaners. Gentle cleaning and a breathable sealer keep it looking good.
Avoid: Acidic cleaners (including vinegar) and high pressure, which pit the stone and open its pores.
How often: Clean yearly; reseal every 2-3 years.
