Travertine is the most common natural stone in East Valley homes, and the one Arizona is hardest on. Hard water, desert dust, and sun leave it chalky, pale, and flat, and the pits and grout lines hold dirt a mop just pushes around. We clean it, seal it, and bring the color back, with pH-neutral products only, because acid etches travertine on contact.
At Pfaff Cleaning Co., we clean and seal travertine throughout Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, Ahwatukee, and Sun Lakes.
The difference between a cleaning and a good cleaning is time. We take ours.

Floors and interior travertine:
Pool decks and patios: cleaning $1.70 $2/sqft, clear sealer $2.55 $3/sqft, color enhancing $4/sqft. Showers are priced from a photo.
Travertine is soft and porous. The pits and pores pull in dirt and hard water, and anything acidic, like vinegar, lemon, or most store-bought hard water removers, eats into the surface and leaves a dull etch mark that cleaning cannot undo.
So we never use acid or razor blades on it. We work buildup with stone-safe products and real dwell time, and where calcium has bonded in, we tell you rather than trading your stone for a faster result.
Clear sealer protects without changing the look. Color enhancing sealer soaks in and deepens the browns, golds, and creams already in the stone, and on faded tumbled travertine it is the difference people remember.
We seal a small test spot with each, so you see both before you decide.
Outdoor travertine takes chlorine, calcium from splash-out, constant wet-dry cycling, and full sun all at once. Sealing does more outside than it does indoors, since nothing else is protecting that stone.
We clean and seal travertine. We do not hone or polish it. Etch marks and a worn polished finish take diamond refinishing, which is a different trade, and we point those out before we start.
We also do not replace or repair cracked or loose tiles.
Every one to two years for most homes. Drip some water on it. If it beads up, you are still protected. If it soaks in and darkens the stone, it is time.

Please reach us at (480) 389-8415 if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Cleaning brings back what dirt was hiding. If the shine is worn off or etched, that takes honing and polishing, which we do not do. We will tell you which you have before you spend anything.
No. Etching is damage to the surface, not dirt, so it takes refinishing.
Yes, priced from a photo. Shower color seal is not guaranteed, and we tell you that before booking.
The floor is dry when we leave. Sealed areas need some cure time before heavy traffic, and we give you the exact wait.
Yes, once everything has cured.
Yes. Cleaning is $1.70/sqft, clear sealer $2.55, and color enhancing $4.
