Travertine & Limestone Cleaning & Polishing in Schaumburg and Greater Chicagoland Area

Is your travertine or limestone showing stains? Water Marks? Etching? Scratches? Dulling? Pitting? A restored stone floor will look as good — or better — than the day it was installed. 

Travertine & Limestone Cleaning

Natural stone surfaces are porous and can lose their luster and value due to damage resulting from foot traffic, spills, acidic cleaners, and every day wear. Prestige uses a deep cleaning process with a combination of naturally organic cleaners, 300 degree steam and hot water. On travertine, limestone and other porous surfaces we utilize a special cleaning process to remove all dirt and debris not only in the grout lines but also in the pits and pores of the travertine or limestone surfaces.

We also fill pits & holes and patch missing grout as necessary.

Refinishing

There are 3 main types of finishes that are most common on travertine and limestone floors.

  • Matte (little to no shine).
  • Satin (medium shine).
  • Polished (high shine).

Any of these finishes can be achieved depending on your needs and wants. Prestige utilizes a multistep diamond refinishing process that brings out the natural appearance that your stone was meant to have. Without the use of waxes or waxy sealers.

After the refinishing process is complete and we have achieved the level shine that you requested, our team then details the surface and applies a high quality impregnating sealer.

We can restore your travertine & limestone back to its original beauty using one or more of the following services:

  • Polishing (Scratch and Etch Removal) – Light surface scratches and some mild etching can be polished out using different polishing compounds or professional products designed for this purpose.
  • Diamond Refinishing – Prestige Grout & Tile believes in a natural finish and does not use waxes or other surface coatings on polished stone, but uses a diamond refinishing process to achieve the desired finish including a high gloss polish.
  • Stain Removal – Stone and other natural surfaces are porous and can stain easily if not properly sealed. Determining the type of stain and choosing the correct chemicals and poultice materials are key to the removal of stains.
  • Repair – Cracks, chips, grout removal? No problem. We use synthetic polyesters for the repair of marble, granite and all natural stone to give that natural stone look.
