Before using acid I would first try using Oxi Clean and honing
powders to clean with. If you have a spinner tool and the pressure washing
system this also works very well.
Acid would be my last choice, what you are doing is
etching the stone clean. This will leave the pores of the stone open and it will
collect dirt much faster even if you seal the stone.

And using an enhancer on that
area hasn't helped with blending it in? How deep does this etch go?

Having a hard time getting a good clean on these travertine floors. Pictured is
an acid spill that cleaned it beautifully and caused minor etching.
Thinking of a nuclear option with some phosporic acid, then a nylo grit
brush afterwards to buff out the etching. Yes, I have been doing this for 25
years and I know you don't use acid on m/l/t, BUT the alkaline's are not doing
it and I do not want to cover it up with grout...too slow. Thoughts.
