Hello All

I had some travertine tiles laid (honed and filled) in the wetroom on
the walls which used to be nice and smooth to the touch. The tiler
since used some impregnator to seal them using a small roller and the
tiles now have an abrasive feel to them which doesn't feel nice. Any
ideas on how I get them back to smooth, could I just buff them with
something? I have a feeling the roller wasn't very clean and it picked
up a load of crap during the application or he over applied it.

Is there anything else I should be doing to these tiles to maintain
them, should I seal say once a year or more often?

TIA

Cheers

Richard

1200 grade wet and dry? Or a mild abrasive cleaner, like
Jif ( Cif? )?
