Like marble, travertine is calcium-based and will react with acids. But travertine has an additional challenge: its naturally pitted, porous surface can trap dirt, soap, and mildew deep in the stone. This is why:

• Acidic cleaners cause etching, dullness, and permanent damage
• Bleach can discolor or lighten the stone
• Porous texture requires proper dwell time for cleaners to work into the stone
• Unsealed travertine absorbs liquids quickly, making staining easy
  

ÁTHOS Bathroom Concentrate is pH-neutral and plant-based, designed to penetrate travertine's texture without causing chemical damage.

• Soap scum trapped in porous surface
• Hard water stains and mineral deposits
• Pink biofilm (bacterial growth) in textured areas
• Mold and mildew in grout lines and pits
• Dingy, dull appearance from buildup
• White or chalky residue from previous vinegar use

Steps:

1. After showering, spray ÁTHOS Bathroom Cleaner on travertine walls and floor
