White Thassos marble in a shower stall

Against the advise of all, I installed thassos marble tile in all of my showers. Should I seal it? How should it be cleaned? Thanks Brook
 

Dear Brook:

First you install it and then you ask me if you should seal it.

You should have asked me how it should be installed before the installation. That's important, not some sealer!!

There's nothing wrong with White Thassos in a shower stall. However, you've obviously heard horror stories about it, if everybody and his uncle were advising you against it.

Why?

Because it was not installed right, that's why!

White Thassos doesn't need to be sealed inside a shower stall.
