Spillage of Travertine Floor - TilersForums.com

Hi guys, i need a little advice please. I have accidently spllied some neat cillit Bang on my travertine floor. I got it up immediately with water. However now it has dried its left stain marks. Any Ideas on how to clean and remove the splash marks?

Cheers

Nick

the problem with all that crap is that it is all really harsh almost industrial chemicals. probably bleech etc so the "stain" is probaly a really clean area with all the natural colour washed out. there probaly is a die you might be able to blend it in with.
either that or do the whole floor with the cilit bang.

an advertising company here used a power washer and a chemical cleaner to put a logo of a wispa choclate bar on the footpaths in our cities.
it looked great adn made the council wash the streets a bit

You have acid etched your floor, Cillit bang is a acid based product read on the back and it will say do not use on natural stone, if you have now cleaned the whole floor with cillit bang then you have done even more damage even if you seal it you are leaving the pours of the stone to far open and will get dirty very quickly. Stone needs re-honing to at least 400grit then sealed.
