We have had travertine installed on the terrace for a few years. Slowly, ugly darkenings have appeared. The stone is cleaned twice a year with neutral soap and water – but it seems to me that dirt has settled in fine pores or depressions. In general, it seems to me that the stones here are different – but see for yourself in the pictures.
I understand that you must not use aggressive agents on travertine, which is a limestone. But what options are there? Or should the stone be completely sanded down – does some kind of impregnation or sealing make sense outdoors at all?
