Tile, Stone, and Brick Floors – Spot and Stain Removal

Note: scratched tiles usually need to be completely replaced.
To clean stained grout, mix 2 tablespoons of liquid bleach with one quart of water. Apply it to the grout with an old toothbrush, let it sit for twenty minutes, mop the floor as usual, and then rinse and wipe dry. Finish by brushing on a sealer: either a commercial acrylic sealer or a more natural version – three coats of lemon oil, allowing an hour to dry between each coat.
Oil and grease stains in brick and stone can be removed, or at least lightened a bit, by spreading a layer of kitty litter on the stain. You can also use powdered cement. Either way, it must be done immediately after the stain gets on the floor – it won’t work on old stains. Let the material soak up the stain, then sweep it clean.
Ceramic tile rarely stains, but if you find yourself with a stubborn spot, apply a paste of scouring powder and water. Let it sit for five minutes. Scrub it with a non-scratching nylon pad, rinse with water, and wipe dry.

Clean the scratches to remove any excess dirt. They will fill with new dirt unless you remove the scratch or cover it.

Very fine scratches can be "polished" out.

Heavier scratches will have to be covered or the tile replaced.

Don't forget to remove or repair the object that caused any scratches such as the bottom of a vase or soap dish.

I have the same problem! You can't set anything on these tiles without scratching them. I have successfully used an SOS pad and elbow grease. Good luck!
