Because the minerals that make up travertine are highly reactive with acidic solutions (e.g. orange juice, vinegar), a major consideration is where the travertine will be installed and what it will be exposed to.

Which one is easier to clean Porcelain or Travertine?
Travertine is easier to clean while porcelain needs to be taken cared of especially from stains.
If I were to choose travertine versus porcelain, I would choose travertine because I can easily brush it up and using liquid soap, it will be cleansed but when it comes to drying instantly, it takes longer. As to porcelain tiles, it's easier to dry up with just wipes but it attracts stains a lot. And you need to exert effort on cleaning but it's okay also. Anyway, there are a lot of bleach in the market.
