It really depends on what type of tile you have down. Muriatic acid is great at cleaning some types of tile. It will really mess up other types. If you head down to the flooring department of your local home improvement store, someone there will be able to talk to you about your specific case. I have spoken to people at Home Depot about the use of muriatic acid in the past. They were very knowledgeable.

Anything stronger will destroy the grout.
