    Ceramic tile is not porous so your stain is still on top of the tile glaze and you need to use a cleanser like Soft Scrub. If the grout is getting stained it is usually porous and now you'll need something with bleach in it.

    I recommend you Lustro Italiano Cleaner and Polish which is specifically designed and PH balanced for Marble, Granite, and Dimensional Stone Surfaces. Compared to other polishes and cleaners, it creates a deeper longer lasting shine
