Answer 3

Bleach works every time on stains, use neat with a damp mop, spread it out well, leave for 5 min, make sure its well ventilated because the fumes can be rather strong, don't let anyone walk on it until you finish rinsing, good luck hope this helps.

Answer 4

If the grout between the tiles is the problem, you can always regrout; I did this in my bathroom, because the grout had years of staining, mostly hard water stains.  

You have to remove about 1/16" of the old grout with a grout scraping tool - they don't cost much (<$5) and then you smear the new grout into the grooves.

Interestingly, as I smeared the new grout on/in, it had the added effect of cleaning the old tiles, especially as I did each step (wiping with a damp sponge, and then wiping with a soft dry cloth).

The tiles in the shower and on the floor were clean, and the grout was white!

Answer 5

Try a pressure washer.  You can rent one.

Answer 6

Try Cilit Bang

Answer 7

Get a toothbrush and mix some baking soda into a paste. You may want a cheap electric toothbrush to make things easier. This should help buff out any unwanted stained porous tiles. Next I would try maybe the new bleach pen or smilar product to rewhiten as much as possible. Let soak in for a while. Some things are just too old.
