Hi,
We've just about to move our a new home that as had most of the bathroom done in travertine tiles around 5 years ago. The floor tiles I think are travertine tumbled unfilled (10cm2) and the walls are large classic which I think are filled and honed.
I've been reading this forum with great interest and have found posts on travertine cleaning and restoring. However I'm not to sure how to tackle the job at hand still....sorry!
So, I've taken pictures so please have a look, helps me explain a bit more better.

Main jobs are:
1. Bathroom floor looks very grubby. Picture 5 shows a tile on the side of the bath and I think this is how the tiles on the floor should actually look like. Do you think it is possible to get this clean look back?
2. Shower Bath Area. They have used large classic travertine filled and honed tiles (I think!) on most of the wall. However around the shower area the tiles looked discoloured and mouldy (picture 7 & 8) and a couple have a rusty brown colour to them (picture 9).
3. Seal the floor and wall tiles.
So I’m looking for advice on what I need to do for each specific job as explained above and what steps and solutions etc I need. I really would like to restore these lovely but neglected tiles.
Also any tips on the maintenance would be useful.
Thanks in advance.
