How to clean old tile:

Muratic has always been the cheep acid of choice for cleaning exposed agg.patios, used with a pole brush.That said, it is sold in gal.jugs in pool stores and hardware stores, but in the tile section you can buy Fluric acid sold in a small 1/2 pt. as a powder and is not a storage issue for grout jobs. Both clean cement well. Once cleaned you MUST seal with clear silicone based (like mineral sprits) once a year at least.Clean with purple degreaser and reseal.If you have children suseptable to mold allegers you can buy antimicroable powder and mix it into the sealer. This is used in paint and calking these days. P.S. Fluric is used by pro window washers, and left on glass too long will melt it. 

I go to Auto Zone and get Purple Power and spray it on the grout in about three feet sections.  I then use a deck brush to spread the purple power (My knees hate my tile floor); I then wipe the grout clean with a damp mop, rinsing the mop while the Purple Power does its magic.  My grout looks like new
