Travina^® is a natural aggregate-based composite, and must be treated like real stone. And, like stone, Travina^® is composed of natural minerals that may react adversely to cleaning chemicals and acids that are not specifically formulated for the care and cleaning of stone. Travina^® contains calcium carbonate and is extremely sensitive to acids. Therefore, fruit juices, wine and harsh chemicals must be removed immediately from the surface.

• Use a soft, clean cloth for best results, and clean with mild soap and water.
• Too much cleaner or soap may leave a film and cause streaks.
• Avoid using cleaning products that have a high acid content, such as lemon, vinegar, boric acid, etc. Acids may etch the surface of Travina.
• Don’t use scouring powders or creams; these products contain abrasives that may scratch the surface.
• Rinse the surface thoroughly after washing with soap solution and dry with a soft cloth. Use fresh clean rinse water.

DOs:

• Dust surface frequently
• Blot up spills immediately
• Clean surfaces with mild soap and water
  Thoroughly rinse with clear water and dry the surface after washing

DON’Ts:

• Don’t use liquids containing acids on the surface, such as vinegar, lemon juice, etc.
• Don’t use cleaners that may contain acids, such as bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners, or tub & tile cleaners.
• Don’t use abrasive cleaners
• Don’t mix bleach and ammonia; this combination creates a toxic gas.
