85% water - 15% vinegar. If it has a high gloss shine to it, this is a ceramic floor tile. Buy heavy duty steel wool, wear gloves, and gently work each tile and grout line. Home Depot, Lowe's sell a tool called "grout saw". Its not a real saw, but has a rough edge that will remove grout. Gently rob over bad areas to remove top surface of grout, then use water and vinegar.
Thanks!
