We were not told these things when we installed our travertine floor. I have two questions: The sealer I purchased was specifically for Travertine, but it was too shiny,did not protect well, and didn't last long. Even with the sealer applied, I have the hardest time removing food spills, shoe marks, etc. I have heard there is a sealer you put on and then use a buffing machine. It's supposed to give a deep, warm glow. Do you have any comments on that, or do you recommend another good quality sealer? My other question concerns the floor steamers on the market now. Would that be safe and effective on travertine? Thank you very much, Carol Reed Hello,

The whole wall is actually out of plumb, tilting towards the outside so the door naturally picks up speed as it closes. i realize the true fix should be to reinstall the whole door frame but i am looking for an easier fix for now. i really don't want to install a hydraulic type of door closer with a big apparatus and articulating arm so i was hoping you could recommend something that looks nicer. thanks, jon i have an exterior, solid core wooden door (36″) that slams very easily.
