sealing white octagon-black dot,
Comments (2)I wouldn't bother. The tile CAN'T be sealed, and the grout's dark enough where it won't make a difference....See Morehelp with subway tile and octagon and dot combo
Comments (1)I used white octagon and dot in matte and Daltile Rittenhouse Square in glossy, and I don't think they are identical. However I used white grout on the walls and grey on the floor as well. I am not sure that they need to match perfectly so much as blend. Daltile has some matte white tiles, did you look at their samples?...See MoreGrout - will sanded work for octagon and dot?
Comments (1)If you're talking about the 2" sheet tile, you're actually better off with the sanded grout....See MoreNeed advice: Replacing tile grout (shower)
Comments (3)We had this same thing in our shower. You just need to remove and replace the caulk, not the grout. There is a bead of caulk where the tile meets the shower pan to keep water out of the seam. The caulk develops mold or mildew over time and needs to be replaced. If you use 100% silicone caulk (not "siliconized" caulk), you shouldn't have this problem. However, silicone is harder to work with than latex caulk. I've had success using windex on my finger when smoothing the caulk instead of water. See attached link for some instructions. Good luck! Here is a link that might be useful: how to replace caulk...See Moresdw1
