Travertine marked by shower cleaning product

    We recently purchased a new house that has travertine tiles laid in the foyer and wet areas ie. bathrooms and laundry. I had some drops of a shower cleaner fall onto the floor in the bathroom and it seems to have etched the tiles where the cleaner dropped onto the floor. So that it now has marks on it in the shape of droplets. The cleaner bottle states that "shower Power" contains a mild natural plant acid combined with a rich surfactant system plus natural frangrance extract. No chlorine, ammonia or phosphates.

What type of chemical in the cleaner would have caused this? Is there a way to remove these marks?

What is the best way to clean travertine tiles.
