Before you have your travertine counters polished you should know a few things about your travertine.
Those little dots on your counter are called etches and they are caused by acid. Travertine is a crystalline stone composed of calcium carbonate. The same chemical is found in common antacids like Tums® and Rolaids®. What makes these antacids effective is their ability to react with acid in the stomach. This is not such a great thing on our travertine counters and travertine showers.
Etches appear to be drip marks or cup rings and no matter what you do, you can’t remove them without some sort of refinishing. Etches are sometimes called watermarks by clients. Etches look like dirty spots that cannot be removed. A common cause of etches on travertine counters is juice, wine, soft drinks, and household cleaners.
