Your website and articles are extremely helpful. I now know that you don't have to seal travertine. Here is my problem; my employee applied sealer to filled travertine and didn't wipe off the excess. I spoke to a rep at the sealer company and used another product, nano scrub, with a white scrubby and rinsed with water. It helped a little to remove the "water spots/dull spots" but not completely. IF you look at the floor directly from above you do not see any blemishes, but the tile is in a large area with glass doors that let in a lot of light ,and if you look at tile furthest away you can see these blemishes. Upon further examination I realized that these blemishes are the epoxy spots that are used to fill the travertine. I know epoxy is a very hard substance and the sealer probably didn't penetrate these areas. I reapplied some of the nano scrub to some areas which helped a little but not completely. Should I buff the floor or polish the floor? Any suggestions. Thanks, Mark
