Is Once n Done safe for Travertine floors? The stone is sealed and the grout is white and difficult to maintain

The label says it can be used on vinyl, ceramic, marble, and stone floors. Will not harm grout and no rinse necessary. So, yes since travertine is a form of limestone.

LastiSeal® Brick & Masonry Sealer would not be recommended for use on indoor travertine because it is normally polished smooth. However, outdoor travertine tends to have greater surface porosity and may accept the sealer without issue. Testing the product first would be recommended.

It would be hard to apply if the grout is not smooth. It would if the grout that's cracked is not too deep.

We just redid our shower in natural stone too. Only in use for 2 weeks, so far so good, but I honestly couldn't give you a long-term answer. I'm hoping that since it is sold FOR the shower, that it's been properly sealed. Wish I could be of more help.

I would not recommend using it on stone floors - it's probably best on a smooth surface.

Gee I hope not. This is exactly what I used on our tumbled travertine next to the pool. In fact I have used this throughout the entire house. Kitchen, bath, living room, backsplashes.... We have tumbled travertine inside and out and have used this product by the gallon everywhere. This is a terrific sealer enhancer and haven't really noticed that the floors are any more slippery when wet. We replaced ceramic tile in the bathrooms, which was defiantly slippery when wet, but this product on top of the travertine is by far less slippery. We live in Arizona and due to uv we may have to re-apply outside more often but that's yet to be seen. Gee I hope not. This is exactly what I used on our tumbled travertine next to the pool.

I find that dog urine itself etches my travertine. If I can catch it right away, wipe it dry with paper towels, and then spray the area with Nature's Miracle & wipe it dry....I have no etching.

The tile pieces are so close together, that grout won't work. You will still need to use a thinset, or something of the like to attach it to the wall, and I would recommend a sealer because of the irregularity of the stone - grease will be trapped in all the nooks and crannies. I unfortunately did not seal mine (I used mine in a living room), so I am not sure which type of sealer is best. Good luck!

Really well. I cleaned my grout before I got the machine and it had kept it nice. I have found that I do need to do a clear water rinse or the tile is a bit streaky.

The technical information on the manufacturer's website simply says it is for natural stone. It doesn't say whether the stone must be unsealed or sealed. If they did not specify, then I would say you could use it on either one. But if you want to be absolutely sure, contact the manufacturer: Custom Building ProductsTechnical Services10400 Pioneer Boulevard, Unit 2Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670Customer Support: 800-272-8786Technical Services: 800-282-8786Fax: 800- 200-7765Email: contactus@cbpmail.netcustombuildingproducts.com

Not well, I have white tile and grout in Florida. While it does a nice job on the tiles, the grout has to be cleaned by another method. Sorry.

To find out how much you need, you measure the surfaces to be covered and calculate the square footage, then add about 5% for breakage, cutting allowance, etc. The details on this page say you have to buy a minimum of 351 square feet to get the price shown. Travertine can certainly be used on shower walls--it is stone so it won't be damaged by the shower--but you need to seal it with a good quality sealer about once a year. I'm not sure what you mean when you say "finish the job"--if you are asking how to install the tile, you should go to YouTube and find videos on how to do it yourself, or hire a professional. If you simply mean what finish is required to seal the tile and make it suitable for a shower, a good quality water-based or oil-based sealer can be purchased at Lowes, Home Depot or off of the Internet.

I think for tumbled marble (or travertine) you should get a sealer that is formulated for extremely porous surfaces. I have seen that type of product in my local "Home Depot". Bulletproof sealer is primarily for a polished stone surface, NOT a porous surface. A friend of mine used the sealer for porous surfaces on his tumbled marble tile and it turned out beautifully, and gave the surface a nice sheen.

I have floating wood floors, laminate in the bathroom and stone around the entrance. It does well on the laminated and wood floors, but the stone has sharp edges and it gets snagged. I wipe the stone by hand and use micro fiber cloths fot that.

your grout is gray b/c you have been using soap on the floor which runs to the lowest point, i.e. grout which then becomes a magnet for dirt. your going to have to use a product to remove the soap in the grout, like nano scrub and then reseal the grout. never use soap

No, you really can't avoid it, but you do wash the grout off with a sponge before it dries hard so you can get most of it and the stuff that remains just blends in with the stone. It wasn't really a problem.
